The string of military defeats during 1942 marked the end of British hegemony in Southeast Asia, finally destroying the myth of British imperial invincibility. The Japanese attack on Burma led to a hurried and often poorly organized evacuation of Indian and European civilians from the country.

The Evacuation of Civilians from Burma investigates the social and political background to the evacuation, and the consequences of its failure.
