The resistance to the Nazi (and their allies) occupations during WWII is well-known: the Maquis, the partisans, and so on. Even if many of these are highly complex in organization, co-operation and goals, and some of these verge into local "civil wars" type conflicts, fighting each other as well as (instead of?) the Axis (or Soviets?)
My question is were there similar - or distinctly different - in the Pacific and Asian theaters? I assume there were Chinese partisans, and maybe such in the Philippines but they somehow don't have the same profile as the anti-Nazi ones. So, what was the shape(s) of resistance? Were there any that resisted the Allies? Or the Japanese AND the Allies? How were they the same or different than in Europe? Than each other? Why aren't they as well known as the "famous" ones?
For the sake of this question, I'm defining resistance as being non-national-military (so not like units that were cut off and so operated behind-the-lines), and more civilian-into-arms oriented.
I started writing a reply about the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army, but most of its activities in the field technically predate WWII. (Survivors were later incorporated into the Soviet Red Army, but the 88th International Brigade, as it was then called, never saw combat.)
Is that something you'd also be interested in, or are you looking for wartime organizations only?
EDIT: Am hoping you'll say yes because I think it does fit what you're looking for, even if a few years removed. Though it's arguably of equal historical interest because the NEAJUA served as the Kim regime's springboard in North Korea.
