Shan States

The  Shan States was the region of eastern Burma that had stamps issued when the region was under Japanese occupation. It remained under military control for a time after the rest of Burma was administered by a puppet government.

The administration of the Shan States was turned over to the puppet government in late December 1943. Shan States stamps were then overprinted in Burmese in November 1944 and were available for general use throughout Burma.

In April 1945, all of Burma came under the control of the British military administration.
