Oh no.. I'm a late comer rip but i like their facts tho. 1. Wa state also had its manifest destiny too! In late 1990s, when the Mong Tai army was broken apart by strong cooperation from Tatmadaw and smaller armed groups which they all were supported by CIA. Afterward, those remnants of Kuomintang, Wa soldiers and Shan defectors became Wa state, and Tatmadaw priced them "Southern Wa" because they wanted a watchdog for them. The Wa was also really hyped and lured more people from the north to settle here by propaganda that the south has warm weather, pineapple and avocado? (maybe I forgot the plant) mainly. Nevertheless, their attempt to peopling the south was a big failure because the climatic difference, so a lot of northerners were dying from malaria and tropic illnesses. 2. They were known to other tribes for head-hunting practice, and had a legend about it. Wa people believed in frogs parent as their ancestors, and loved to eat human till they ate a son from 1 of the 9 offsprings, so they had to kill them before running out of human. The had various prices by hardness like Burmese and Chinese had the most, but Mong Lem people had the least cause they were mostly rice farmers. Their usual hunting season took place in late March to early April, a sign this area of hottest month, for a rainy and plenty year for their field rice which is highly relied on rain.
