History
Yangon was founded in 1028 by the 
Mons, who were the natives of Lower Burma. They called it 'Dagon'. The Mon kept the town in peace for about seven centuries.
In 1755, 
Konbaungball captured Dagon, made settlements around Dagon, and called it 'Yangon'. 'Yangon' is the combination of two Burmese words, yan (ရန်), or 'enemies', and koen ( ကုန်), or 'run out of', which translates to 'end of conflict', 'end of war', or 'end of strife'. In the 1790s, an earlier version of the 
British Rajball, the British East India Company, opened a factory there.
In the Second Anglo-Burmese War of 1852, the British seized Lower Burma, which includes Yangon. They called it Rangoon, which is the westernized version of the Arakanese pronunciation of Yangon, Rankone (Arakanese is a dialect of Burmese, spoken in 
Rakhine Stateball, also known as Arakan. Arakanese is also known as Rakhine). It became the capital of 
British Burmaball for nearly a century. The capital was moved a couple of times but it settled as Yangon from 1853 to 1942, and from 1945 to 1948.
The Burma Campaign was a series of wars from 1942 to 1945, involving the 
British Empireball and the 
Empire of Japanball. From April to May 1945, Operation Dracula happened in Rangoon. It was an airbourne attack by the British and Anglo-Indian forces.
In 1948, British Burmaball gained independence from British Empireball It became the capital of the newly-created country and was replaced by Naypyidawball in 2005.
