[edit] 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.
