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 was a public humiliation for the
British and marked the end of their role in Burma. The Evacuation of Civilians from
Burma investigates the social and political background to the evacuation, and the
consequences of its failure
