National uprising in Burma

Did Force 136 actually "coordinate" the various revolts and uprisings in Burma in 1945 ? My reading, from various sources, suggest that the Karens came out into open revolt at a moment determined by General William Slim, commanding British Fourteenth Army, when it would best coincide with his army's operations and plans. The Burma National Army on the other hand, chose its own moment to change sides and declare openly for the Allies.

In neither case does Force 136 seem to have been the overall controlling authority; they either transmitted Slim's orders or could merely observe events without being able to dictate them.

"There were also American reservations over restoring the French colonial regime after the war" yes (that's why they supported the viet minh as soon as 1945) but the british were also colonials and therefore supported the french! obvious pov in the current article Cliché Online (talk) 18:08, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Whether you like it or not, the French were the de facto legitimate government in French Indo-China/Vietnam prior to the Japanese occupation, and it was none of Britain's business to meddle in the political affairs viz., who ran the country after the expulsion of the Japanese. Neither for that matter was it any of the US's business either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.150.11.183 (talk) 11:21, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The restoration of legitimate pre-war governments was one of the requirements and war aims of the Atlantic Charter which Roosevelt had also signed, in addition to Churchill.
