Description

Yangon Under British Rule

Scarce map of Rangoon (Yangon), published by the British Twelfth Army in June, 1945, one month after Yangon was liberated from the Japanese.

Yangon was under Japanese occupation from 1942 to 1945 and was severely damaged during World War II. The city was retaken by the Allies in May 1945.

Yangon became the capital of the Union of Burma on January 4,1948 when the country gained independence from British rule. 

States of the Map and Rarity

We note that at least 1 later state, dated September 1945, was offered by a British map dealer.

OCLC locates a single example of the map  (UCLA). We were not able to determine the state of the map.
