Description:
The Struggle for Burmese Independence
Aung San, "the architect of Burma's freedom," was one of the most important political figures in the history of Burma's struggle for independence. Beginning as a student leader and activist in the 1930s, Aung San went on to assume prominent leadership positions in Burma's nationalist movement. At the beginning of World War II, he organized a clandestine trip to Japan in search of funds and military training in order to fight against British imperialism, but his close-knit group of "Thirty Comrades" found it necessary to resist not only the British, but also the Japanese.
