The Japanese army invades Burma December 1941-1945
The Japanese army invaded Burma in December 1941. It began only a few days after the surprise bomb attack at Pearl Harbor on Hawaii devastated the US fleet and signalled the expansion of the conflict across the Pacific and through south-east Asia.
Depleted by the need to fight on fronts closer to home during the second world war, few British and Indian army units had been left to defend the colony. They were, however, later joined by Chinese forces loyal to Chiang Kai-shek.
Rangoon, Burma's capital, fell to the Japanese in March 1942. Thailand had entered into an alliance with Japan and its troops supported the invasion. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/nov/01/elephant-man-gyles-mackrell-invasion-burma

USA Declaration of War on Japan 8 December 1941
Players: General Töjö (Japanese Minister for War and Prime Minister from 1941-44), Stalin, Churchill, Roosevelt, Cordell Hull (US Secretary of State), Admiral Yamamoto, Matsuoka Yösuke (Japan's foreign minister).
For four years, Japan's designs on China had caused alarm to the Allies.
By 1938 Japan occupied a vast area of the Chinese coastline. Japan's ambition was to establish Japanese primacy in Asia and incorporate China into the Empire, subduing any opposing Western nation.
On 27 September 1940, Japan signed the Tripartite Pact with Germany and Italy, binding the three countries to mutual support. Japan now faced a war with Russia and Hitler's attack there in June 1941 came as a disturbing surprise to the Japanese. A Russo-Japanese non-aggression pact was negotiated by Matsuoka Yösuke, Japan's foreign minister, in 1941 - but Stalin would eventually break the terms of this agreement. http://www.bbc.co.uk/ww2peopleswar/timeline/factfiles/nonflash/a1138709.shtml
