The Burma Campaign was a series of military operations during World War II, primarily fought between the Allied forces and the Japanese Empire in the region of Burma (now Myanmar). The campaign began in 1942 and aimed to reclaim territory occupied by Japanese forces, which had invaded Burma as part of their broader strategy in Southeast Asia. Key battles included the Battle of Imphal and the Battle of Kohima, where Allied troops, including British and Indian forces, faced significant challenges due to difficult terrain and supply issues. The campaign ultimately contributed to the defeat of Japanese forces in the region by 1945, helping to secure the Allies' position in Asia.
