Overview
The Ava Kingdom, also known as Inwa Kingdom, was a dominant polity that ruled upper Burma (Myanmar) from 1365 to 1555. Founded in 1365, it succeeded the petty kingdoms of Myinsaing, Pinya, and Sagaing, which had governed central Burma since the late 13th-century collapse of the Pagan Kingdom. The kingdom may have been led by Bamarised Shan kings who claimed descent from Pagan rulers, though the precise ethnicity of its kings is debated by scholars.
