The whole country devoted all its strength to providing supplies for the Japanese army, but it was unexpectedly slaughtered in a frenzy, and I regretted that I could not catch up

What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo

During World War II, Japan proposed the so-called Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Plan, announcing that its army had come to liberate the colonies, but in fact the Japanese army was a more brutal aggressor than the colonizers. The name of the Burma Road must be known to many people, and the Japanese army wanted to cut off this road at all costs, first, to leave our country in a state of isolation and helplessness, and second, to completely encircle Burma. At that time, Burma was still under british colonial status, and Japan's propaganda of liberating the colonies received a positive response from many Burmese.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army in order to quickly occupy Asia to obtain resources, launched an attack on Southeast Asian countries, and finally successfully occupied Burma in 1941, the Burmese government and a large number of soldiers and civilians believe that these Japanese people are here to liberate them, for the arrival of Japanese soldiers is even more welcome, the Burmese government poured all its strength to provide material help for the Japanese army, some Burmese also risked their lives to infiltrate the British military camp to collect intelligence for the Japanese army.

What the Burmese did not expect was that the Japanese did not come to liberate them at all, and the surrender of Burma was not reciprocated accordingly, and the Japanese army carried out a massacre of Yangon after occupying it, which is the heinous Yangon Massacre. Far from helping Burma become independent, the Japanese became extremely interested in the natural resources it possessed, and their purpose in driving out the British was to annex Burma on their own. During this period, the Japanese army imposed strict military control on the face, using force to forcibly confiscate all the fiscal revenues of Burma as its own, and all officials in the government departments must be pro-Japanese, and the appointment and dismissal were uniformly arranged by the Japanese side.

At this time, the Burmese people found that the Japanese army was more cruel and terrible than the former colonists, and the former colonists would only enslave them, while the new Japanese army would stab at each other at every turn. Because the Japanese army lost its superiority in the Pacific Theater and lost many battles, they vented all their anger on the Burmese people, often causing massacres in the Burmese area, and the poor Burmese people funded the Japanese army because they had all the military supplies in the country, and when the Japanese army slaughtered them, there was no force to fight back.
