Burma Road
The Burma Road was a vital lifeline during World War II, serving as the primary supply route from British-held Burma to China in the late 1930s. Despite constant Japanese pressure and aerial bombardment, the road remained a symbol of international cooperation and resistance. The route not only supported Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist forces but also bolstered Chinese morale in the face of overwhelming adversity. It played a crucial role in sustaining China’s war effort and resisting Japanese expansion in Asia.
