<P> Since 1962, the Burma Socialist Programme Party ruled the country as a totalitarian one - party state, headed by General Ne Win . Under the government agenda, called the Burmese Way to Socialism, which involved economic isolation and strengthening the military, Burma became one of the world's most impoverished countries . Many firms in the formal sector of the economy were nationalised, and the government combined Soviet - style central planning with Buddhist and traditional beliefs . </P> <P> The 8888 uprising was started by students in Yangon (Rangoon) on 8 August 1988 . Student protests spread throughout the country . Hundreds of thousands of monks, children, university students, housewives, doctors and common people protested against the government . The uprising ended on 18 September after a bloody military coup by the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC). Thousands of deaths have been attributed to the military during this uprising, while authorities in Myanmar put the figure at around 350 people killed . </P> <P> During the crisis, Aung San Suu Kyi emerged as a national icon . When the military junta arranged an election in 1990, her party, the National League for Democracy, won 80% of the seats in the government (392 out of 492). However, the military junta refused to recognise the results and continued ruling the country as the State Law and Order Restoration Council . Aung San Suu Kyi was also put under house arrest . The State Law and Order Restoration Council would be a cosmetic change from the Burma Socialist Programme Party . Suu Kyi's house arrest was lifted in 2010, when worldwide attention for her peaked again during the making of the biographical film The Lady . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> Part of a series on the </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Democracy movements in Myanmar </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> The fighting peacock flag </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Background </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Post-independence Burma </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Internal conflict in Myanmar </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Burmese Way to Socialism </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> State Peace and Development Council </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Mass protests </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 8888 Uprising Saffron Revolution </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Concessions and reforms </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Roadmap to democracy New constitution Reforms of 2011 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Elections </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1990 2010 2012 2015 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Organisations </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> National League for Democracy 88 Generation Students Group Burma Campaign UK Free Burma Coalition U.S. Campaign for Burma Generation Wave All Burma Students' Democratic Front Third Force </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Figures </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> U Nu Aung Gyi Tin Oo Aung San Suu Kyi Min Ko Naing Thein Sein </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Related topics </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Human rights in Myanmar Politics of Myanmar Foreign relations of Myanmar </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> <Ul> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> </Table>
