Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Burma gained independence on January 4, 1948, and was admitted to the United Nations later that year. While Burma initially had a West-leaning policy for nearly two years after independence, it did not immediately support the USA in the Cold War; instead, it quickly transitioned to a neutral, non-aligned path to maintain internal stability and avoid antagonizing major powers. During the Korean War, which broke out in 1950, Burma maintained this non-aligned stance. Specifically, Burma voted against the U.S.-sponsored resolution in the United Nations that sought to condemn and brand Communist China as an aggressor in the Korean War. This refusal to denounce China was a cornerstone of its early independent foreign policy, aimed at balancing relations between the Western superpower and its communist neighbor.
