The reason ethnic minorities in Myanmar (Burma) did not trust the new central government created after independence in 1948 is primarily:
It was dominated by Burmans, who constituted a large majority in the country.
This dominance led to feelings of marginalization among ethnic minorities, and they often felt that their interests and rights were not adequately represented or protected by the Burman-majority government.
