Years: 1533 - 1533
The enlarged Confederation of Shan States had extended its authority down to Prome (Pyé) in 1532 by defeating their erstwhile ally the Prome Kingdom, because Sawlon felt that King Bayin Htwe, had not provided sufficient help in their war against Ava.
Sawlon has made a fateful choice in not attacking the Toungoo Kingdom.
After the Prome war, Sawlon is assassinated by his own ministers, creating a leadership vacuum.
Although Sawlon's son Thohanbwa, king of Ava, naturally tries to assume the leadership of the Confederation, he will never be fully acknowledged as the first among equals by other saophas.
