On 29 November 1885 the Third Anglo-Burmese War came to an end, with King Thipaw, the last of the Konbaung dynasty monarchs, deposed and his family sent into exile. As a result of this short conflict the whole of Burma fell under the rule of the British Raj as a province of India, a state it would remain in until the 1930s.
