The German Navy began to attack British shipping with both surface ships and U-boats, sinking the S. S. Athenia within hours of the declaration of war. The German Panzerschiff (a heavy cruiser) Admiral G ...

Burma Campaign - The rival Plans.
In August 1943 the allies decided to create South East Asia Command (SEAC) a new combined command responsible for the South-East Asian Theatre.

 |  |  | British Fourteenth Army: Encyclopedia II - Pacific War - Conflict between Japan and ChinaThe roots of the war began in the late 19th century with China in political chaos and Japan rapidly modernizing. Over the course of the late 19th century and early 20th century, Japan intervened and finally annexed Korea and expanded its political and economic influence into China, particularly Manchuria. This expansion of power was aided by the fact that by the 1920s, China had fragmented into warlordism with only a weak and ineffective central government.
However, the situation of a weak China unable to resist Japanese demands appea ...
