World War II special: Did you know the Chinese Army once trained in India?

With Japan conquering most of China, United States and Nationalist China came together to fight the Axis power. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek was the Allied Supreme Commander in the China Theater and he accepted President Roosevelt’s nominee Lt. Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell chief of staff of the combined forces.

But when the going got tough, Stilwell pulled back the troops into British India with the intention of training them.

In fact, as many as 20 Chinese divisions were trained in the US-run base of Ramgarh, now in Jharkhand, for a special campaign in Burma.
