| | The Dutch East Indies Campaign 1941-1942 |
 | | Unfortunately, as some of the battles were fought in remote jungle locations of the Netherlands East Indies, we only have the reports of survivors to tell us their version what actually happened. | | | The Japanese conquest of South East Asia showed what could be attempted with superior striking strength at sea and in the air. | | | Hence Japan's swift advance in securing these areas which brought on an immediate conflict with the western powers, who also had considerable political and economic interests in the Far East region. |

| | The Aceh War and the Creation of the Netherlands East Indies State |
| | In the history of the Netherlands East Indies there have been many scholars who have revealed historical, anthropological, and sociological dimensions to Indonesian societies and nations in precise and objective terms, yet this particular scholar stands out as one of the best. | | | The only claim was based on the "white man's burden" and the fact that the Kingdom of the Netherlands was struggling to be a world power. | | | Parts of the archipelago which had previously been claimed by the colonial government were now aggressively annexed |

| | The Japanese paratroopers in the Dutch East Indies, 1941-1942 |
| | In some way it was near impossible to defend against extensive drops assisted to exploit amphibious attacks from the Japanese controlled sea on thinly held island garrisons throughout South East Asian region. | | | The Rising Sun empires warplanes at one captured airbase would support the attack on the next objective. | | | Available IJ Navy carrier aircraft were employed too, for close air support during the invasion and suppressing enemy military bases that could interdict the invasion force. |

| | The initial trial of American heavy bombardment had proved disappointing, though it was difficult to argue that the test had been a fair one. | | | The 19th had been marked by heavy blows directed against Java from the west as well as the east. | | | The Netherlands government had at hand a regular army of some 40,000 men and, in addition, perhaps 100,000 native troops; of necessity these forces would constitute for the time being the main resistance on the ground. |

| | Even on his deathbed Christopher Columbus still believed that the long chain of islands that he “discovered”—stretching from the top of Florida southward toward the South American coast of Venezuela—were the Indies. | | | The world became involved in the Middle East wars after Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal in 1956. | | | Starting as a monopolistic trading body, the company became involved in politics and acted as an agent of British imperialism in India from the early 18th century to the mid-19th century. |

| | With troops of the 2d Division pressing in on them along the southern route, ter Poorten's men scrambled to establish road blocks and credible defenses at each river crossing. | | | Blackburn and his American artillerymen held the enemy before Lenwiliang for two days, enough time for the Allied garrison at Batavia to escape within Black Force lines. | | | With all of Malaya and southern Sumatra under their control, the Japanese now concentrated on the islands and sea expanses of the East Indies, the last barrier before Australia. |

| | An English diplomat named Downing remarked on this two-faced Dutch policy in 1663, just before England and the Dutch went to war over trade: "It is mare liberum [open seas] in the British seas but mare clausum [closed seas] on the coast of Africa and in the East Indies." [Boxer 92] | | | This was not the case with the Dutch East Indies and British India. | | | This made them ideal colonies, and explains why the Netherlands were so interested in maintaining their leadership over the Dutch East Indies. |

| | In South East Africa the Germans have killed more than 80% of the local population only because they refused to be colonised and these events only happened 100 years ago. | | | I do recommend the novels of Pramoedya Ananta Toer , who wrote a lot of stories about the colonial period with his "apartheid". | | | More information can be found by using my personal Dutch East Indies links and of course by reading the books from the different Dutch writers as shown in my book links. |
