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 homeduring 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. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/nov/01/elephant-man-gyles-mackrell-invasion-burma

Declaration of War on Japan
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

The Tripartite Pact, also known as the Berlin Pact, was an agreement between Germany, Italy and Japan signed in Berlin on 27 September 1940 by, respectively, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Galeazzo Ciano and Saburō Kurusu.
It was a defensive military alliance that was eventually joined by Hungary (20 November 1940), Romania (23 November 1940), Bulgaria (1 March 1941) and Yugoslavia (25 March 1941), as well as by the German client state of Slovakia (24 November 1940). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripartite_Pact

Boston Globe > Pearl Harbor 70th anniversary December 7, 2011
Some 100 survivors of the attack on Pearl Harbor will gather in Hawaii today 70 years after the day which drew the US into World War II.
The Japanese air and naval strike on the American military base claimed nearly 2,400 lives, destroyed over 160 aircraft and beached, damaged or destroyed over 20 ships.
President Franklin D. called it " a date which will live in infamy" when he addressed the Congress the next day asking to declare war with Japan.
