This paper is attempted to clarify the controversial event King
Thibaw ascending the throne. Moreover it was presented with the
purpose of how important "Trust Building" is in politic. After
ascending the throne, King Thibaw faced external threat as well as
internal weakness. The Hluttaw ministers and counselors did not
support effectively and King Thibaw lost trust his ministers and
counselors. Therefore mass killing of royal prince took place after
the ascending the throne and it made discredit to King Thibaw.
Senior minister like Kinwun Mingyi and Hsinphyumashin secretly
contact with Prince Nyaung Yan whom was staying under the
protection of British. On the other hand Prince Myingun took
refuge under protection of the French and was trying to seize the
power with the supporters from lower Myanmar as well as taking
the financial help from Hsinphyu Mashin. They were external
strength for the British and French. In this way King Thibaw's
administration became deteriorated and finally the British anxious
about Franco‐Myanmar treaty so they exaggerated the Bombay‐
Burma Teak company's problem. In this way King Thibaw was
taken away by the British due to the internal weakness and
external strength.
