Burma Campaign

The Burma Campaign (1942-1945) was a series of military operations in World War II focused on liberating Burma (now Myanmar) from Japanese occupation. Allied forces, primarily British, Indian, and Chinese troops, fought against the Japanese Army, whose control of Burma threatened supply routes to China and India. The campaign included difficult jungle warfare and significant battles, such as the Battle of Imphal and Kohima. Ultimately, the Allies aimed to push the Japanese back into their territory, contributing to the broader defeat of Japan in 1945. The campaign had lasting impacts on the region's politics and independence movements.
