China Burma India Theater

The China-Burma-India (CBI) Theater was a significant theater of operations during World War II, involving the United States, China, and Britain against Japan. It spanned the mountainous regions of China, the jungles of Burma (now Myanmar), and the northeastern parts of India. The theater was crucial for maintaining supply lines to China, aiding Chinese forces fighting Japan, and launching operations in Southeast Asia. Key events included the construction of the Ledo Road and the use of air supply routes over the Himalayas, known as the "Hump," showcasing the strategic importance of this region in the broader conflict.
