Animated Map: The Burma Campaign

Track the progress of the Burma Campaign - from the rapid Japanese victories of 1941, to the desperate battles for the Indian towns of Kohima and Imphal. Then follow the course of the Allies as they drive the Japanese forces out of Burma in late 1944 and 1945.

After atomic bombs were dropped by the Allies on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Japanese government finally surrendered on 14 August 1945. The longest British and Commonwealth Campaign of World War Two was over.
