The Japanese conquest of Burma was the invasion of Burma during World War II. It spanned over four years from 1942 to 1945.

On 1 January 1942, troops from the Japanese Fifteenth Army settled on the border of Burma waiting to march.[1]

In 2012, the Assassin Clay Kaczmarek included a photograph of the Japanese soldiers on Burma's border with several other images from the Second World War in one of the Glyph puzzles he designed to serve as messages for his successor Desmond Miles. That particular puzzle, which had to be solved via a Caesar cipher, suggested that Adolf Hitler was killed by Assassins while a decoy feigned his suicide in his bunker.[1] Desmond deciphered this message in September of that year,[2].[1]
