The Second World War (1939-1945) was a war of unprecedented scale, which had a profound impact on the world. After the war, the world entered the Cold War period, forming a confrontation between the two camps headed by the United States and the Soviet Union. Among them, the US aid policy to Myanmar deserves our attention. Its different support policies for Myanmar in different time periods were largely influenced by the relationship between Myanmar and the Soviet Union, and also considered the relationship with various countries in Southeast Asia. This article takes 1948-1962 as the time clue to introduce the US aid policy to Myanmar in each period, and unfolds the narrative with the US global and Southeast Asian strategies and the goals and means to achieve in this stage as the main line.
