Answer:

Human rights in Burma were no the priority of the industrialized nations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Burma, Now known as Myanmar, was land of different local kingdons which eventually were defeated by foreign countries, mainly by European empires such as British Empire. During that time, colonialism was the main focus of industrialized nations, it means they were interested on gaining more land to access more naturual resources and cheap workforce so they only needed to assure control over Burma to extract all they required from it. Human Rights in Burma were not a priority for the inustrialized nations; they seized control over Burma to focus on extraction, not on rights for the people of Burma.
