Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Stilwell Road, originally known as the Ledo Road, was a strategic overland supply route constructed during World War II to connect the Allied forces in India with China after the Japanese blocked the Burma Road in 1942. The road begins in Ledo, located in the Indian state of Assam [1]. It traverses through northern Myanmar (Burma), passing through towns such as Shingbwiyang, Myitkyina, and Bhamo in Kachin State. The route eventually terminates in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan province in southwestern China [1]. While the road was vital for the China-Burma-India (CBI) Theater of operations, it did not pass through Thailand. The construction was a joint American and Chinese effort overseen by General Joseph Stilwell to ensure a steady flow of supplies to Chinese forces resisting Japanese aggression.
