		The Burma National Army served as the armed forces of the Burmese government created by the Japanese during World War II and fought in the Burma Campaign.
		The AFO agreed to this in return for recognition as a political movement and promises that the officers and men of the BNA would be incorporated into the new Burma Army.
		Thakin Soe and Aung San hoped for the BNA to be accepted as allied forces and the Anti-Fascist Organization to be acknowledged as the provisional government of Burma.

		Suzuki Keiji of the Japanese army travelled to Burma in June 1940, ostensibly as the secretary of the Japan-Burma Association and a correspondent of the Yomiuri newspaper.
		The Japanese government requested the United Nations to suspend the resolution for one year: they preferred a policy of "friendship" to prevent the SLORC from becoming isolated internationally, saying that this was more likely to lead towards democratization in Burma than was the United States and European Community (EC) policy of confrontation and economic sanctions.

	ipedia.com: History of Myanmar Article
		(Burma's sizeable ethnic minorities have different names for the country in their languages.) Governments such as the United States and Australia, which disapprove of the military regime, continue to call it Burma, and this is the name that Aung San Suu Kyi - seen by some as the elected leader of the country - uses.
		The British seperated Burma from India in 1937 and granted the colony a new constitution calling for a fully elected assembly, but many Burmese felt that this was just a ploy to exclude them from any further Indian reforms.
		Ba Maw served as the first prime minister of Burma, but he was forced out by U Saw in 1939, who served as prime minister from 1940 to 1942.

	Burma: A potential paradise haunted by poverty and war
		National capitalist leaders in Burma would not accept that regions of the country rich in natural resources could break loose from the state of Burma and thereby be out of their control.
		On the contrary, a capitalist Burma (just as in the rest of the neo-colonial world) would be under the control of multinational companies, their national governments in the West and the representatives of international capitalists in the IMF, World Bank and the WTO, with a weak national capitalist class doing their bidding.
		Burma (recently renamed Myanmar by the regime) is probably potentially one of the richest countries in the world.

	Burma's National Convention: A New Negotiating Forum?
		Khun Htun Oo, leader of the Shan National League for Democracy, which won the second largest number of parliamentary seats in the 1990 elections, told the Democratic Voice of Burma on September 6th that he and his group did not want to become culprits by joining the NC in its present setup.
		Although no one rejects the concept of holding a national convention to resolve the country's long-standing problems, all key political and ethnic entities have questioned the NC process and the contents of the proposed constitution.
		Given the earnest preparations regarding the reconvening of the long suspended National Convention (NC) and the finishing of the proposed constitution, the junta's tenacity is apparent.

		At the same time, they reorganised the BIA and renamed it the Burma National Army (BNA) in an attempt to render it ineffective.
		Burmese army officers made contact with the British to plan resistance and, in March 1945, as British forces under General Slim swept back into central Burma, the BNA attacked the Japanese army.
		But, in reality, Burma had merely exchanged one occupying power for another which, it can be argued, had less respect for the Burmese than its predecessor.

		Indian National Army was formed under the initiative of leaders like subhas chandra bose, rashbehari bose and others who, being imbued with the spirit of national independence, sided with the Axis Powers during the Second World war (1939-1945).
		In any case, in a primary hegemonic struggle as the Indian National Movement was, preparedness for struggle cannot be measured by the volume of immediate organisational activity but by the degree of hegemonic influence that the movement has acquired over the people.
		Consequently the INA also had to retreat and was forced to surrender when the allied powers recaptured Burma.

	Ambassador Holliday: Statement on Children and Armed Conflict, January 20, 2004
		The Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers recently reported that children may account for 35 to 45 percent of new recruits into the national army, and 70,000 or more of Burma’s estimated 350,000 soldiers.
		We encourage Burma’s neighbors to provide protection to any child soldiers who desert from the national or ethnic armies and allow international relief organizations, including the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to provide humanitarian assistance to resettle and reintegrate them into society.
		To highlight a few of these problem areas, Burma is thought to have the largest number of child soldiers in the world.

		The III, was proclaimed the organization to work for India's freedom; the Indian National Army was declared the military arm of the movement with Mohan Singh as the Commander-in-chief and Rashbehari Bose was elected president of the Council of Action.
		The effect of the Indian army of liberation marching into India along with the German forces would be such that the entire British Indian Army morale would collapse, coinciding with a revolutionary uprising against the British.
