Eventually, however, the military had to relent and give up power. In 2015, democracy was restored in Burma. Suu Kyi's party came to party in Burma and she became the head of government.
In recognition of her non violent struggle for democracy in Burma, she was awarded the Nobel peace prize in 1991.
