TCAE&B: China Burma India (CBI) Theater: World War II’s Forgotten Theater (Zoom Lecture)

The San Diego Chinese Historical Museum is partnering with the SDSU Chinese Cultural Center to produce this monthly Zoom lecture series.

The China Burma India Theater in World War II was less known than the Europe and Pacific theaters.  The CBI theater faced numerous strategic issues, such as geographic issues where China was blocked and had to rely on Hump airlift operations for resupply; leadership issues, where Gen. Chennault did not get along Gen. Stilwell, nor his superiors in Washington; furthermore, at the time, the war in Europe was a higher priority. Major General Bill Chen, U.S. Army Retired, will highlight the U.S. and Chinese forces in the CBI theater of operations and illuminate the role of and contributions of Chinese Americans in the U.S. fighting units
