Here is the first podcast episode for 2019. New years mean new beginnings, and because the previous episode finished what this podcast had to say about World War II, we will be making a new beginning here. This episode is an introduction to the events that happened between 1945 and 1990, a time called both the Cold War era and the Age of Nationalism.

Today we take a break from the narrative, because I have been interviewed again. This time it was done by the two hosts of a new Singapore-based podcast, called "We Don’t Mean to Dwell, But . . ."

And here’s a link to the podcast that did the interview. Listen and enjoy!
With this episode we finish the podcast narrative about World War II in Burma, or as we now call it, Myanmar. Here the British and the Japanese fight for the city of Rangoon, modern-day Yangon. In the middle of the battle the rainy season begins, which forces both sides to call a halt to most of the fighting. But in 1945, the war will end before the rainy season does.

Today we return to Burma, now called Myanmar, to hear about the efforts of the Allies, especially the British, to take back this land during World War II. We will concentrate our attention on the battles fought here from August 1944 to March 1945. Also, the Ledo Road will be finished, and the Burma Road will be recovered.
