Article titles Burma campaign (1944) and Burma campaign (1944–1945)[edit]

Another editor has raised with me an issue with these two titles and that they have the appearance of being a duplication. Is it possible to consider alternative names that resolve this? Cinderella157 (talk) 09:17, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How about:

"Allied Reconquest of Burma (1944-1945) or;
"Allied Reoccupation if Burma (1944-1945) or;
"Allied Liberation of Burma (1944-1945)

2: is a bit tame; the process was not a peaceful post-VJ day march in. Both 1: and 3: might raise complaints of POV. I would go with 3: as it fits with the nomenclature of other allied campaigns e.g. Liberation of France. HLGallon (talk) 11:35, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Option 1 and Option 3 work for me. — Sadko (words are wind) 18:58, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
