Abstract
The occupation of Burma in 1942 by the Japanese army brought the Second World War to Northeast India. On 8 March 1944, the Japanese 15th Army in Burma under the command of LieutenantGeneral Mutaguchi launchedits15th and 33rdarmy divisions into Imphal with the objective to destroy the British 4 Corps based there. The fear of the Japanese was that the British could use Imphal as a springboard to recapture Burma which waswithinJapan’s ‘Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere’. The Japanese terminated the Kohima-Imphal road which compelled the British 4 Corps at Imphal to rely on air supply throughout the battle. The Indian National Army (INA) fought at Imphal in collaboration with the Japanese. The ultimate objective of the operation ‘U-Go’ or the Imphal campaign was to capture Imphal, Kohima and Dimapur and to help the INA penetrate into the plains of India to stir anti British uprising to liberate India from their control. The Japanese and the INA got defeated at Imphal after fighting pitch-battles with the Allied forces.
