Which force was pursuing Stilwell's column out of Burma?
British Forces

Imperial Japanese Armed Forces
French Forces
Answer
The Imperial Japanese Armed Forces pursued Stilwell's column out of Burma. This was because Stilwell was an American general who was leading the Chinese army against the Japanese in Burma. The Japanese were trying to prevent Stilwell from reaching India, which would have given the Allies a base of operations in the region. Stilwell and his men were able to escape the Japanese pursuit, but they suffered heavy casualties.
