Mohammed V of Morocco vs Tabinshwehti

Mohammed V was deposed and exiled by French authorities to Madagascar, along with his family, for his nationalist stance and support for Moroccan independence. This act sparked widespread protests and strengthened the independence movement.

Mohammed V returned to Morocco from exile in Madagascar after negotiations with France. He was restored as Sultan, marking a major victory for the nationalist movement. His return was celebrated by massive crowds.

Mohammed V successfully negotiated the end of the French protectorate over Morocco. He proclaimed the country's independence and became its first king, uniting the nation under his leadership.

Mohammed V oversaw the drafting and promulgation of Morocco's first constitution. It established a constitutional monarchy with a parliament, though the king retained significant powers. This was a key step in modernizing the state.

Tabinshwehti, building on his father Minkyinyo's achievements, conquered the Mon kingdom of Pegu and other states, unifying much of Burma under Toungoo rule. He moved the capital to Pegu and established the Toungoo Empire as the dominant power in the region.

Tabinshwehti launched an invasion of the Ayutthaya Kingdom (Siam), capturing the capital and forcing the Siamese king to become a vassal. This campaign extended Toungoo influence into Southeast Asia and demonstrated Burmese military power.

Tabinshwehti was assassinated by his own bodyguard, a Mon nobleman named Smim Sawhtut, who then declared himself king. The assassination plunged the Toungoo Empire into a succession crisis and civil war, temporarily halting its expansion.
