1946

On 25 August 1946, he and other Karen leaders arrived in London to get Karen their homeland.

At this time, the British controlled Karen land and he went to Great Britain in an effort to regain control of the land for his people, but the British refused and did not give it back to them.

Instead the British gave it to Burma.

1947

On 27 January 1947, the British agreed with Aung San-Attlee, the Burmese president, and gave him and the Anti-Fascist People's Freedom League (AFPFL) rule over Burma.

To form their case, between 5 and 7 February 1947, 700 members of the Karen Norberg Associates( KNA), Baptist KNA, Buddhist Karen National Association (BKNA), Karen Central Organization (KCO), and its youth branch the Karen Youth Organization (KYO) which had been formed in October 1945, met at Vinton Memorial Hall in Rangoon and formed the Karen National Union.

That union asked for representation in government.

They also asked for a seaboard on their own land.

Not only that, they asked for all Karen units in the armed forces.

The British ignored the KNU.

1949

After the negotiations with the AFPFL government for the benefit of the Karen, the nation was not successful, Saw Ba U Gyi led an armed rebellion as commander of the Karen National Liberation Army (KNDO) in 1949.

1950

Saw Ba U Gyi (စီၤဘးအူကၠံ, စောဘဦးကြီး ; 1905 – 12 August 1950) was the first President of the Karen National Union.

He was killed in an ambush by the Burmese Army on 12 August 1950.

Ba U Gyi's four principles are still held as the guiding Principles of the Revolution of the Karen National Union:

He was ambushed and killed on 12 August 1950 at a small village near Moulmein, 170 miles from Rangoon, with other Karen leaders and an English major who were imprisoned for supplying arms.

His corpse was apparently transported four miles out to sea where it was thrown overboard, thus ensuring there would be no martyr's grave for him.

The anniversary of Saw Ba U Gyi's death is commemorated annually on 12 August as Karen Martyrs' Day.
