The Freedom Bloc (Template:Langx), later known as Dobama-Sinyetha Asiayone (Template:Langx), was a political party in Burma during World War II.
History
The party was established by a merger of Dobama Asiayone (DAA), Ba Maw's Poor Man's Party and the All-Burma Students Association, and was known as the "Htwet Yat Gain" (Template:Langx, "Association of the Way Out"),[4] although DAA leaders secretly formed the People's Revolutionary Party at the time of the merger.[2] It opposed cooperation with the British war effort unless Burma was guaranteed independence immediately after the war, and threatened to increase its anti-British and anti-war campaign.[2] As a result, the Governor ordered the arrest of the Bloc's leadership in 1940, most of whom remained in prison until the Japanese invasion of 1942.[2]
Following the onset of the Japanese occupation, the party was renamed Dobama-Sinyetha Asiayone and dropped its anti-fascist and socialist outlook due to the Japanese presence. Ba Maw became Head of State and leader of the renamed party.[2]
In 1944 the party was dissolved, with the Greater Burma Party formed to replace it.[2]
