In March 1944, the Japanese forces in Burma launched Operation UGo against the British forces in India. Japan wanted to deal a severe blow to the British in northeastern India, which could have prompted an uprising of Indian nationalists. It was planned for the Japanese offensive to follow the fastest route from Burma to India, the road to Dimapur. Two main objectives along the operation path were the towns of Imphal and Kohima. The latter was an important communication center through which the British forces on the IndianBurmese frontline were supplied.
