The Ava–Hanthawaddy War (1408–1418) (Template:Lang-my) was a military conflict between Ava and Hanthawaddy Pegu that lasted from 1408 to 1418. It was the third of the decades-long wars between the two kingdoms, both located in present-day Myanmar.

Background

This was the third war between Ava and Hanthawaddy Pegu. In the first two wars, each kingdom had tried to take advantage of the other's succession crisis. In the first war (1385–1391), King Swa Saw Ke of Ava unsuccessfully tried to replace the new king of Hanthawaddy, Razadarit, with his own nominee.[1][2] In the second war (1401–1403), it was Razadarit that tried to gain the submission of Ava's new king Minkhaung I.[3][4]

In both cases, the upstart regimes not only survived the invasions but thrived afterwards. In the decade following the first war, Pegu grew "in economic and political power", greatly benefiting from the growth in chiefly maritime trade with South India, Ayutthaya, Malacca and maritime Southeast Asia, and Ming China.[5] Likewise, Minkhaung emerged stronger after the second war. Not only was he able to negotiate a favorable peace treaty that obliged Pegu to supply 30 elephants and custom revenues of the port of Bassein (Pathein) annually[6][7] but he had also finally gained the support of his vassals, many of whom had offered little or no support for much of the war. Minkhaung began using his newfound power just a year later. By using diplomatic and military means, Ava went on to take over its neighboring Shan states to the east, Onbaung (1404/05), Yatsauk and Nyaungshwe (1405/06),[8] as well as those in the north, Bhamo[9] and Mohnyin (1406).[8][9]

The acquisition spree alarmed Ava's neighbors. The Ming court, which considered the Shan states its tributaries, dispatched an embassy to Ava (Inwa) in August 1406, ordering to Ava to end its "aggression" against the Shan states.[9] At Pegu, the concern was much higher. Circa October/November 1406,[note 2] Razadarit, who had been concerned about Ava's potential to take over Pegu since the waning days of the second war,[13] received what the Pegu court believed to be credible intelligence that Ava's designs went beyond the Shan states. According to the Razadarit Ayedawbon chronicle, which primarily narrates from the Hanthawaddy side, the intelligence revealed Ava's plans to invade Launggyet Arakan next, and Pegu afterwards.[10] (To be sure, the main chronicles, which primarily narrate from the Ava side, do not say that Pegu was a target at the time.[note 3])

At any rate, Pegu's suspicions were seemingly confirmed shortly after. On 29 November 1406,[note 4] Ava forces led by Minkhaung's son Minye Kyawswa captured Launggyet, the capital of Arakan on the western littoral.[12] In response, Razadarit and his army marched to Bassein (Pathein) to closely monitor the events across the Arakanese border. Ava forces proceeded to capture Sandoway (Thandwe) in southern Arakan, forcing Arakanese royalty and refugees to flee into Hanthawaddy territory. Although Ava forces did not cross the border, the Pegu court was now convinced that Pegu was indeed next.[11]

Prelude to war

Razadarit removed the veneer of friendly relations. He readily gave shelter to the Arakanese prince Min Khayi (or King Min Saw Mon).[note 5] A few months later in 1407, he welcomed Minkhaung's younger brother Prince Theiddat, who had defected after being passed over for crown prince, with great fanfare.[18][19][20] He also stopped sending the annual shipment of elephants and the annual customs revenues of the port of Bassein.[19][20] The 1403 treaty of Kawliya was now null and void. The Hanthawaddy command fully expected an Ava invasion after the rainy season, and prepared for war.[11]

However, the anticipated invasion never came. It turned out that Ava was busy suppressing a rebellion in Bhamo during that dry season.[11] The Hanthawaddy command now deliberated their next steps. Over the next two months, they concluded that Pegu must act while Ava had its hands full in the north, and that their target should be Arakan, which they believed should be an easier task than invading southern Ava directly. They calculated that the local Arakanese populace would welcome their returning royalty, accompanied by Hanthawaddy troops.[15][21]

Finally, in January 1408,[note 6] Razadarit authorized the Arakan campaign. The king did not make the decision lightly, as he would be starting a war against a more powerful kingdom. He reportedly made a solemn prayer at the main pagoda,[note 7] before issuing the order to attack.[15]

Phase 1 campaigns (1408–1410)

Hanthawaddy conquest of Arakan (1408)

By late February, Hanthawaddy forces were massed in Bassein (Pathein). An expeditionary force, consisted of two divisions (4000[15] to 5000[22] troops in total), commanded by Smin Paik-Nye and Smin Maw-Khwin, had been organized.[15][23] The dethroned king of Launggyet, Min Saw Mon, would also accompany the expeditionary force. Indeed, a core part of the Pegu battle plan was to use Min Saw Mon's presence as a way to get the local populace to join their side. The plan called for attacking Sandoway first, enlisting more men from the Sandoway region, and finally attacking Launggyet.[23]

Meanwhile, Ava was oblivious to the impending threat. It had not reinforced its forces in Arakan. The Ava-installed king Anawrahta had a small garrison in Launggyet, and an even smaller one in Sandoway.[23]

The invasion began in March 1408.[note 8] The expeditionary force saw no resistance whatsoever, and quickly reached the outskirts of Sandoway. There, they sent messengers informing that Min Saw Mon and his ally Hanthawaddy forces had returned to retake the kingdom. It worked. The small Ava garrison was completely unprepared, and decided to evacuate instead. Hanthawaddy forces entered Sandoway without a fight.[23]

The allied forces—Min Saw Mon now commanded a force of his own—then marched to Launggyet. Anawrahta and his small garrison desperately tried to put up a fight. But as they had little control over the local populace, three vanguard forces–led by Smin Sam Lek, Smin Lauk Ni-Ye and Min Saw Mon—quickly breached the defenses.[23] Anawrahta, his queen Saw Pyei Chantha, and 300 household guards, were taken prisoner.[15][23]

Historiography

Prelude to war

The main Burmese chronicles say that Minye Kyawswa conquered Arakan in 765 ME (1403/04)[24][25][26] but the Arakanese chronicle Rakhine Razawin Thit gives the exact date Monday, 5th waning of Nadaw 768 ME, which translates to Monday, 29 November 1406.[12] Thus 765 ME appears to be a copying error of 768 ME as the Burmese numeral 8 can be miscopied as 5 and vice versa.[note 9] The Razadarit Ayedawbon does not provide an explicit date for Ava's conquest of Arakan but its narrative suggests the conquest took place not long before Razadarit's decided to invade Arakan.[11]

Phase 2 (1410–1415)

All the main chronicles largely agree on the order of the events but with a few notable exceptions. First, the Razadarit Ayedawbon includes two invasions by Minye Kyawswa whereas the other three chronicles list three invasions by the crown prince. Secondly, the Razadarit places the 3rd Maw/Chinese invasion after Minye Kyawswa's final invasion while the main chronicles place the Chinese invasion during Minye Kyawswa's last invasion.

The most notable difference is the year in which Minye Kyawswa died. The Razadarit says Minye Kyawswa died in Tagu 775 ME (March 1414),[note 29] while the Maha Yazawin places the crown prince's death in Tagu 778 ME (March 1417),[note 30] which may a result of a copying error of 775 ME.[note 9] The Yazawin Thit changes the date to Tagu 776 ME (March 1415)[note 31] but the Hmannan Yazawin keeps Tagu 778 ME (March 1417).[note 32]

In general, many of the Maha Yazawin's dates are inconsistent with the chronicle's narrative.[note 34] The Yazawin Thit largely follows the Maha Yazawin's narrative but updates with internally consistent dates. Indeed, its date for the battle of Dala (Wednesday, 4th waxing of Tagu 776 ME) does fall on a Wednesday (13 March 1415).[note 31] The Hmannan Yazawin uses the Yazawin Thit's dates from 772 ME (1410/11) to 776 ME (1414/15) except at the end when it suddenly switches to Tagu 778 ME (March 1417) for the Battle of Dala and Minye Kyawswa's death.[note 32]

  2. ^ According to the Razadarit Ayedawbon, the Pegu court learned about Ava's plans to attack Arakan and Pegu when its border patrols intercepted an Ava envoy en route to Chiang Mai who had inadvertently veered into Hanthawaddy territory.[10] Razadarit's spies in Ava soon after reported that Ava forces had in fact already left for Arakan.[11] Since Ava forces conquered the Arakanese capital of Launggyet on Monday, 5th waning of Nadaw 768 ME (Monday, 29 November 1406) per the Rakhine Razawin Thit chronicle,[12] the Ava invasion must have begun after or towards the end of the rainy season, probably after the end of the Buddhist Lent on 26 September 1406.
  3. ^ While the Razadarit Ayedawbon says the Pegu court received the intelligence by intercepting Ava's envoys to Chiang Mai before Ava's Arakan campaign,[10] the main chronicles—the Maha Yazawin, Yazawin Thit and Hmannan Yazawin—all say Ava's mission to Chiang Mai took place after Pegu had taken Arakan, in an attempt to recruit Lan Na into jointly attacking Pegu; Arakan was not mentioned at all.[14][15][16]

  16. ^ Unlike other chronicles, the Hmannan does not explicitly state any dates of the events.[19] Its previous explicitly stated date right before this section was 768 ME (1406/07).[30]
  17. ^ Different versions of the Razadarit Ayedawbon provide different information:
    • An 18th century copy of the Razadarit, cited in the Yazawin Thit chronicle (1798), says Razadarit decided to attack Arakan in Tabodwe 769 ME (28 December 1407–25 January 1408), and sent in his invasion forces in [Late] Tagu 769 ME (25 February 1408–24 March 1408).[15]
    • Pan Hla's version of the Razadarit gives no dates or years for Hanthawaddy's first Arakan campaign.[31] However, Pan Hla notes a few pages later in a footnote that the chronicle gives 769 ME (1407/08) for Hanthawaddy's second Arakan campaign,[32] which according to other chronicles (including the Pak Lat)[32] took place in 772 ME (1410/11).
  18. ^ The Maha Yazawin only says Hanthawaddy forces invaded Arakan in 769 ME (30 March 1407–28 March 1408),[33] which provoked Minkhaung to launch an invasion in Kason 770 ME (29 March 1408–23 April 1408).[34]
  19. ^ The Hmannan includes no explicit dates about the Arakan campaign itself,[35] except that Minkhaung invaded Hanthwaddy soon after in Kason 769 ME [sic] (6 April–5 May 1407).[36]
  20. ^ 769 ME (30 March 1407 – 28 March 1408), a year after Minye Kyawswa's conquest [in November 1406]. Ava retained a toehold in Arakan at the Ngakhwethindaung fort in 770 ME (1408/09).[22]
  21. ^ right after the Arakan campaign[31]
  22. ^ Invasion begins in Kason 770 ME (29 March 1408–23 April 1408).[34] Negotiations began about three months later but eventually broke down; Ava forces were driven back soon after.[37]
  23. ^ The Yazawin Thit largely follows the Maha Yazawin's narrative but does not explicitly state Kason 770 ME (29 March 1408–23 April 1408). Instead it says Minkhaung launched the invasion right after learning about the fall of Arakan.[38]
  24. ^ The Hmannan follows the Maha Yazawin's narrative but it gives 769 ME as the year (instead of 770 ME). This means the invasion began in Kason 769 ME (6 April 1407–5 May 1407),[36] the attempts to negotiate began about three months into the campaign (July/August 1408),[36] and Ava forces were driven back soon after.[39]
  25. ^ Campaign lasted about five months during the dry season of 771 ME, and ended before the arrival of the rainy season.[40] Unlike the main chronicles, the Razadarit does not explicitly say that the campaign ended in 771 ME.
  26. ^ Campaign lasted about five months during the dry season of 771 ME, and ended in 771 ME.[41]
  27. ^ Campaign lasted about five months during the dry season of 771 ME, and ended in 771 ME.[42]
  28. ^ Campaign lasted about five months during the dry season of 771 ME, and ended in 771 ME.[43]
  29. ^ a b Inconsistent date: According to Pan Hla,
    • The Binnya Dala version of the Razadarit gives Wednesday, 4th waxing of [Late] Tagu 775 ME.[74] which translates to Saturday, 24 March 1414.
    • The Pak Lat gives "Sunday, 4th waxing of Tagu" without the year.[81] Pan Hla continues that because Pak Lat says Minye Kyawswa dies three years after his first campaign in 772 ME, the year of the death should be 775 ME.[74] Sunday, 4th waxing of [Late] Tagu 775 ME translates to Saturday, 24 March 1414.
  30. ^ a b Inconsistent date: Wednesday, 4th waxing of [Late] Tagu 778 ME (Sunday, 21 March 1417)[44]
  31. ^ a b c Consistent date: Wednesday, 4th waxing of [Late] Tagu 776 ME (Wednesday, 13 March 1415)[82]
  32. ^ a b c Inconsistent date: Wednesday, 4th waxing of [Late] Tagu 778 ME (Sunday, 21 March 1417)[83]
  33. ^ a b The Maha Yazawin is inconsistent:
    • In response to Ava's invasion of Arakan, Hanthawaddy sent reinforcements to Arakan in early 773 ME (c. April 1411). After over three months of fighting at Sandoway, Ava forces withdrew.[51]
    • Hanthawaddy forces then went on to retake Launggyet in 772 ME [sic] (1410/11).[52]
  34. ^ The Maha Yazawin's narrative has the following inconsistencies:
    • The Arakan campaign started in late 772 ME (early 1411), fought into early 773 ME (c. April 1412 onwards), and ended in 772 ME [sic] (1410/11).[note 33]
    • Its dates suggest a three-year lull in fighting between 774 ME and 777 ME even though its own narrative shows continuous fighting.
    • Its dates for the fifth invasion indicate two full dry season campaigns in 777 ME (1415–1416) and 778 ME (1416–1417) while its narrative covers a single dry season campaign.
    • It says the Battle of Dala took place on Wednesday, 4th waxing of Tagu 778 ME but the date actually translates to Sunday, 21 March 1417.[44]
  35. ^ The Maha Yazawin does not provide a specific date for this campaign. But the previous campaign took place in 771 ME[46] and the subsequent campaign in 773 ME.[47]
