	Joseph Stilwell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stilwell was born in Palatka, Florida in 1883 of patrician Yankee stock, and graduated from West Point in 1904.
		Stilwell's post in the China Burma India Theater, while a geographical command on the same level as the commands of Dwight D. Eisenhower and Douglas MacArthur, was a more complicated one due to the lower priority of the Theater for supplies and personnel and the greater need to balance political and military activities.
		Stilwell also continually clashed with Field Marshal Archibald Wavell, and apparently came to believe that the British in India were more concerned with protecting their colonial possessions there than helping the Chinese fight the Japanese.

		Stilwell thus had four different jobs to perform, which required him to be in different places at once.

		Stilwell clashed frequently with the commander of the 11th Army Group, General Giffard, and would not accept being under his command, instead insisting that NCAC came directly under the Supreme Commander.

		Stilwell's proposal, supported by the President, was to put Stilwell in command of the threatened Chinese forces, including some Chinese Communist units that were fighting the Japanese.
