Description

This paper attempts to explore the significance of Japanese occupation in Southeast Asia by examining the role of the East Asia Yorths' League (əsha. luŋɛ), formed in Burma under Japanese rule. Though an institutional analysis, the process of the League's formation and growth into a large, popular organization with a membership of fifty to sixty thousand is chronicled. During the post-war period, the League became one of the most powerful organizations in Burma and contributed to the AFPFL's resistance to the British Empire. Because nationalist leaders such as Bogyou Aung San confessed that prior to the war the popularization of the Thakin parry had been exceedingly difficult, the significance of a popular mass organization such as the League should be manifest. In short, the League helped propel the cause of Burmese independence.
