Siege of Imphal

The Siege of Imphal was a major World War II battle in 1944 where Japanese forces surrounded the British and Indian troops in Imphal, India. The Japanese aimed to cut off supplies and force surrender, but the Allies held their position. With increased reinforcements and supplies, the Allies launched a counterattack, ultimately defeating the Japanese. This victory was significant because it stopped the Japanese advance into India and turned the tide of the Burma Campaign in favor of the Allies, marking a crucial turning point in the war in the Southeast Asian region.
