This week in 1942: Rangoon falls to the Japanese.
At least 2,000 civilians had already died in Rangoon (mainly from
Japanese aerial bombing) over the previous 10 weeks; another 400,000
became refugees. The city's dockyards, factories, oil refinery, and
railways were all destroyed by the colonial authorities before leaving.
Hundreds of offices and shops were looted by ordinary people. The fighting
retreat from Rangoon first to Mandalay and then to Assam over the next
three months would be the longest ever in British history. One of the
most advanced countries in southeast Asia became an economic ruin
because of the war.
The photograph is of soldiers of the
Japanese Fifteenth Army under Lt. General Iida Shojiro (飯田 祥二郎) in front
of Government House on 8 March 1942.
