The students and the people did their bit but it failed because of selfish politicians like U Nu, U Aung Gyi and others that the military got their way. A lot of people lose something out of their lives but some their lives as well. There is no honour in the military of Burma today. They are not more than serial killers. Just imagine obeying their orders to shoot at school children in their green and white uniforms because they were ordered to shoot and kill communists. This psychology that they are just doing their job - obedience to authority - is not only in the rank and file. I've seen those high up in the ranks of colonnel have the same mentality.
