	South-East Asian theatre of World War II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The China- Burma- India (CBI) Theatre of World War II was the name given to the campaigns of the Pacific War in India, Burma, Thailand, Indochina, Malaya and Singapore.
		A month after the outbreak of war with Japan on December 7, 1941, the Allied governments jointly appointed the British Commander-in-Chief (CinC) of the Army of India, General Sir Archibald Wavell, as Supreme Allied Commander of all "American-British-Dutch-Australian" (ABDA) forces in South East Asia and the Pacific, from Burma to the Dutch East Indies.
		One of the major logistical efforts of the war was "flying the Hump" over the Himalayas and the building of the Ledo Road from India to China as a replacement for the Burma Road.

		This policy culminated in the Munich Agreement in 1938, in which the seemingly inevitable outbreak of the war was averted by United Kingdom and France agreeing to the annexation and immediate occupation of the German-speaking regions of Czechoslovakia.
		The North African war proved to be a disaster for Italy, and when the Allies invaded Sicily on July 10 in Operation Husky, capturing the island in a little over a month, the regime of Benito Mussolini collapsed.
		It was one of the bloodiest sieges of the war.

	World War II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
		World War II, also known as the Second World War, was a mid-20th-century conflict that engulfed much of the globe and is generally considered the most costly and intense war in human history.
		Many consider World War II to be the only true world war due to the overwhelming number of nations involved and the extraordinary number of theatresâ”from Europe and the Soviet Union to North Africa, China, South East Asia and the Pacific.
		Postâ“World War II Europe was partitioned into Western and Soviet spheres of influence, the former undergoing economic reconstruction under the Marshall Plan and the latter becoming satellite states of the Soviet Union.

	World War II
		World War II was the most extensive and costly armed conflict in the history of the world, involving the great majority of the world's nations, being fought simultaneously in several major theatres, and costing tens of millions of lives.
		Indeed, the first combat operation in the European Theater of World War II was a German bombing attack against Poland, while the last combat operation in the Pacific Theater was a thousand-aircraft bombing attack on Japan, on 14 August 1945.
		The war also saw the re-emergence of the United States from its isolationism, the destruction and rebuilding of Germany and Japan into major industrial powers, the advent of the atomic bomb, and the emergence of the United States and the Soviet Union as global superpowers.

		World War I had settled few of the political problems of Europe at a horrible cost—half of all French males between the ages of 20 and 32 in 1914 had been killed in the war.
		The assault on the USSR was conceived not merely as a war of conquest; it was to be a war of extermination, the first phase in clearing Eastern Europe of the "inferior races" for subsequent German settlement.
		At the time Germany began the war in Europe, the Japanese were in the last stages of being defeated by the Soviet Union in bitter and bloody fighting on the border of Manchuria and Outer Mongolia (the Nomonhan Incident); at the same time the American navy embarked on increasing the size of its Pacific fleet.

	The Militant - January 27, 2003 -- How Washington put Japanese-Americans in concentration camps in World War II
		The East Asian theater of World War II was essentially an interimperialist conflict between two capitalist powers, Tokyo and Washington, for control of markets and natural resources in the Far East.
		Most evacuees returned to the West Coast several years after World War II, in spite of a campaign of intimidation waged in 1945—6 in Oregon and California by growers in the produce and floral industries, as well as officials of AFL unions like the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, aimed at keeping them away.
		During World War II, virtually every imperalist government used concentration camps to hold without trial populations considered to be "politically unreliable." London had at least one concentration camp in Great Britain for politically "undesirable" Europeans who had fled the German fascists.

	VDH's Private Papers :: Remembering World War II
		If we were to listen to the Chinese, World War II was about the gallant work of Mao’s partisans, who in fact used the war to gain power, and then went on to kill 50 million of their own citizens — about the same number lost in all of World War II.
		A Swedish EU official recently blamed the Second World War on "nationalistic pride and greed, and…international rivalry for wealth and power" — the new mantra that Hitler was merely confused or perhaps had some “issues” with his neighbors.
		If there were any justice in the world, we would have the ability to transport our most severe critics across time and space to plop them down on Omaha Beach or put them in an overloaded B-29 taking off from Tinian, with the crew on amphetamines to keep awake for their 15-hour mission over Tokyo.

	China Burma India Theater of World War II - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
		China Burma India Theater (CBI) was the name used by the United States Army for its forces in China, Burma, India during World War II.
		The US forces in the CBI theater were grouped together for administrative purposes under the command of General Joseph "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell, but unlike the other theaters in the war, for example the European Theater of Operations, it was never a "theater of operations" and did not have an overall operational command.
		When the joint allied command was agreed upon, it was decided that the senior position should be held by a member of the British military because the British dominated Allied operations on the South-East Asian Theatre by weight of numbers (in much the same way as the US did in the Pacific Theater of Operations).

	Orals Reading Notes: War Without Mercy, John Dower
		John Dower's War Without Mercy describes the ugly racial dimensions of the conflict in the Asian theater of World War II and their consequences on both military and reconstruction policy in the Pacific.
		For "as the war years themselves changed over into into an era of peace between Japan and the Allied powers, the shrill racial rhetoric of the early 1940s revealed itself to be surprisingly adaptable.
		"This latter stereotype was the dominant metaphor in Japanese propaganda against the enemy during World War Two -- the closest equivalent on the Japanese side to the Anglo-American fixation on the apish stigmata and yellow vermin...the Anglo-Americans were described as demons (oni), devils (kichiku), fiends (akki and akuma), and monsters (kaibutsu.)"

		Bagnold's Commander-in-Chief, General Archibald Wavell, recognised the dangerously impoverished state of Britain's intelligence resources early in the Desert War and authorised the formation of the unit, charging it with the responsibility for conducting reconnaissance deep in the Libyan Desert.
		This atrocity, one of the worst in world history is still being denied by the Japanese Government.
		As World War Two in Europe came to a close in the first days of May 1945, more than just the end of the war was at hand.

	Amazon.ca: The Burma Road: The Epic Story of the China-Burma-India Theater in World War II: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
		From the fall of Burma to the Japanese in 1942 until the end of the war, the Allies strove to keep China supplied with matériel from India-by air over "the Hump," and overland via the Burma Road, which stretched 700 miles to the Chinese city of Kunming.
		While the war in China is neglected for a long period of time, The Burma Road effectively shows us the blood, sweat and disease that dominated this campaign.
		The book follows a semi-chronological format, taking us from the beginning of Stillwell's involvement in the Asian theater of operations to the end of the war, but it does jump around a bit when it moves on to another subject.
