  • In 1941, following Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, their powerful naval forces swiftly advanced towards the Dutch East Indies. Japan aimed to secure crucial oil reserves and assert dominance in the Pacific, seeing the region as vital for sustaining their wartime efforts and expanding their influence amidst the ongoing global conflict...

    Thank you for this nice video. My late grandfather served in the KNIL (Royal Dutch Indies Army, aka Colonial Army). He fought against the Japanese on the Island of Java. After the Dutch surrender he was a POW and was transported by a "Hell-ship" to Birma to work on the Birma-Siam Railway. Very bitter was the fact that after Japan surrended he again faced a 4 year war but then in the Indonesian war of independence. Again serving as a KNIL sergeant. He never spoke about it unfortuanatly. RIP grandfather, I love you!

    I'm Indonesian and I really appreciate and thank you for covering a history about our country.
    Fun fact:
    one of the most important key for japanese that makes their conquest so fast and easier than their anticipate was because the rise of Indonesia nasionalism in indonesian archipelago. In that time, almost in all teritory, rise the "JONG" (Indonesian Radical party that want to revolt against DEI and promote liberte, egalite, fraternite). They claim that all area that under the colony of DEI was Indonesian (no matter in which island they are), and they all brother.
    Japan knew this and they sent a lot of spies to spread rumor that japan was Asia long lost big brother (including Indonesia), and Japan goal was to liberate all Asian country from europe yoke and lead them under one Asian Empire (with japan as their leader).
    The rumor was effective and before the japanese landing, in fact, all indonesian area already rise a rebellion and help japanese from inside (stealing weapon, sabotage military base and vehicle, etc).
    DEI can't even amount a proper defensive strategy due to the fact that they don't have enough amount of resource for it. Japan capitalise it by launch a bliztkrieg to show to all indonesian that they are really want to help.

      ¿que porcentaje de indonesios colaboraron lealmente con japón durante la guerra? En la India el partido de chandra bose tenia el apoyo del 10 por ciento de la población. En china,creo que un 15 por ciento apoyó a japón. En Filipinas,el 20 por ciento.

    an interesting history and appropriate background fir understanding how Japan's conquest lengthened the war from resources gained by control of the East Indies area. There was one aside comment of dialogue from William Holden to Alec Guinness in the film, The Bridge On The River Kwia, where he stated he was a sailor for the Houston, captured by the Japanese. R.I.P. to those Allied military men who perished from this battle.

    of time before the Allies won. So with hindsight, it's like watching a sports game where you know the outcome.

    The great success of Japan in WWII was putting an end to European colonialism.
    Once broken, the American World Empire encouraged the formation of many "independent" countries that were wholly unable to defend themselves in any meaningful way. Thus they were dominated by the American World Empire, while being as "independent" as they were capable of being, which often wasn't much.
    China is the first significant competition to the American World Empire, but like Japan has alienated most of the countries in the area, causing them to continue to support the American World Empire.
    But what will happen when the American World Empire pulls out and leaves these powerless "independent" nations to deal with China on their own?

    • @Karthagast
      @Karthagast 2 месяца назад

      Great comment, but I have to disagree on one point: "but like Japan (refering to China) has alienated most of the countries in the area". I think that is just the so called Western narrative. An exercise of wishful thinking.
      In fact, if you pay attention to what the countries in the area say, you would realise that a mayority of them are more likely to choose the option of "not picking sides", because many of them see clearly the American intention of using them as canon fodder in an intended war by USA against China.
      For all those countries, on one hand, USA offers them war psychosis and assured destruction in case of conflict between USA and China because those countries will be in the very first line of such a conflict, on the other hand, China offers them trade, investment and economic thrive. The consequence of this is that in South East Asia Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar remain very friendly to China, Thailand is increasingly leaning to China as well. Singapore, Indonesia and Brunei remain strongly neutral, resisting constant pressure from USA, and only the Philippines seems to have fallen again under USA dominance.
