Did the Japanese offensive into India occur due to Wingate's first operation?
Possibly
No
Yes
Not directly
Answer
Wingate's first operation, the Chindit incursion, did not directly cause the Japanese offensive into India. However, it may have contributed to the offensive by increasing Japanese awareness of British capabilities and intentions in Burma. Wingate's force was able to penetrate deep into Japanese-held territory and cause significant damage, which may have led the Japanese to believe that the British were planning a larger offensive.
