BURMA UNDER JAPANESE OCCUPATION








The Japanese Occupation of Burma, during World War II, lasted from 1942-1945. It ended when anti-fascist nationalist army, under the command of  Aung San, rose up and expelled the japanese forces from Burma. It was then, that independence talks begun with the Burmese and Britain which led to full independence in 1948.

None of the notes have a date on them. both the 100 and 1 rupee notes have their numbers in the western style however the 10 rupee note has both western numerals and the roman numeral for 10 - X.
