Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is A) a pro-democracy party won.

The option that best explains why in 1990 the military Junta agreed to elections and then refused to give up power is because a pro-democracy party won.

Todays Myanmar was formerly known as Burma. In 1990, the military Junta accepted elections but the result didn’t like them. The military government couldn’t accept the citizen’s decision that elected a democratic party and refused to give up power. The National League for Democracy Party had won the election. The will of the people from Burma was clear. They did not want the military forces in power, they wanted democracy and a new form of government. But the military decided otherwise.
