India-Burma Theater

The India-Burma Theater was a major campaign during World War II where Allied forces fought against Japan in Southeast Asia, specifically across India and Burma (now Myanmar). The goal was to prevent Japanese expansion into India and recapture territories like Burma, vital for access to China and resources. The theater involved difficult jungle warfare, long supply routes, and coordination among American, British, Indian, Chinese, and other Allied troops. It was crucial for hindering Japanese advances in Asia and maintaining Allied strategic positions in the Pacific and China.
