The concurrent Battle of Meiktila and Battle of Mandalay were decisive engagements near the end of the Burma campaign during World War II. Collectively, they are sometimes referred to as the Battle of Central Burma. Despite logistical difficulties, the Allies were able to deploy large armoured and mechanised forces in Central Burma, and also possessed air supremacy. Most of the Japanese forces in Burma were destroyed during the battles, allowing the Allies to later recapture the capital, Rangoon, and reoccupy most of the country with little organised opposition.

Collectively, they are sometimes referred to as the Battle of Central Burma. Despite logistical difficulties, the Allies were able to deploy large armoured and mechanised forces in Central Burma, and also possessed air supremacy. Most of the Japanese forces in Burma were destroyed during the battles, allowing the Allies to later recapture the capital, Rangoon, and reoccupy most of the country with little organised opposition. (en) Die Schlacht um Mandalay und Meiktila vom Februar bis März 1945 fand während des Zweiten Weltkrieges in Zentral-Burma statt. Die Britisch-Indische 14. Armee griff die zahlenmäßig schwächere japanische 15. und 33. Armee entlang des Flusses Irrawaddy an und konnte Meiktila und Mandalay besetzen. (de) La bataille simultanée de Meiktila et de Mandalay ou communément bataille de la Birmanie centrale, a été l'un des derniers engagements décisifs de la campagne de Birmanie. Malgré des difficultés logistiques, les Alliés ont pu déployer de grandes forces blindées et mécanisées dans le centre de la Birmanie, et possédaient également la suprématie aérienne. La plupart des forces japonaises en Birmanie ont été détruites pendant les batailles, permettant aux Alliés de reprendre plus tard la capitale, Rangoun, et ainsi de réoccuper la majeure partie du pays en rencontrant une opposition désorganisée. (fr) La battaglia di Meiktila e la battaglia di Mandalay, spesso chiamate battaglia della Birmania Centrale, furono due scontri decisivi che avvennero sul finire della campagna di Birmania. Nonostante alcuni problemi a livello logistico, gli Alleati riuscirono a schierare molti mezzi corazzati e a mantenere la supremazia aerea, riuscendo a imporsi così sul nemico. Grazie a queste vittorie le forze alleate riuscirono a riconquistare la capitale Rangoon e il resto del paese senza incontrare una resistenza organizzata. (it) イラワジ会戦は1944年12月から1945年3月28日にかけて行われた日本軍とイギリス連邦軍との戦い。英軍が勝利した。イラワジ会戦は狭義ではメイクテーラ会戦を含まないが、本稿ではメイクテーラ会戦も併せて述べる。 (ja)
