Heard of Lord Thomas Babington Macaulau?"Military relations" can mean a whole range of things, most of them not exactly earth-shaking. It would likely start very small, a couple of Americans doing some training and observation, a couple of officers from Myanmar going to school in the US. From there something bigger might or might not develop. The US has some level of "military relations" with most countries.
His Minutes on Indian Education of 1835 envisaged
' creating, “a class of persons, Indian in blood and colour, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals, and in intellect”.
The Minute is based on an idea that English education is not just superior in ‘science’, but would also inculcate superior morals, etc. that were responsible for making the English superior.
That is how it all starts!
