Yes, that is true but changing the name of a *PLACE* does not define the
people living there out of existence. I'm not sure about Myanmar, but when
the island was called Ceylon it (and India) were under British rule. The
Brits are very fond of changing the names of places IE Beijing was called
Peking.
