Did UK forces fight Japanese in ww2?

Yes, UK forces fought against Japanese troops during World War II, primarily in the Pacific theater. Notable conflicts included the defense of British territories such as Malaya, Singapore, and Burma. The British military, alongside Commonwealth forces, engaged in significant battles against Japanese forces, particularly during the 1941-1942 campaigns. The war in the Pacific continued until Japan's surrender in 1945, after which British forces played a role in the post-war occupation.
