  • Dutch didnt brought civilization to Indonesia,Our ancestor was civilized peoples our ancestors built huge building Borobudur,they sailed to the open ocean to east africa and madagascar since thousands years ago.

  • Indonesia is bad land to colonize you need small islands with less people to conquer so you can keep The land forever..

  • Comment removed

  • They are not strong the Dutch Empire and the Dutch military powers compare to the British Empire and the British military powers.

  • Dutch and Japanese were both blood sucker for Indonesean .

    I am a Japanese but have to admit that was a fact .

  • Indonesians say goodbye to the Dutch with happiness.They treated Indonesian people badly! Im Scottish married to an Indonesian woman. We know what it was like to have some foreigner trying to rule us, we didn't allow it to happen and we were never conquered. Respect Indonesia for doing the same, showing their brave heart and claiming their right and country. Forget the emotional music and what "you think" it was like all those years ago. Hey if you dont beleive me, ask an Indonesian citizen!

  • @Indoscott

    Indonesia isn't a country, it's a big colony of the people of the Island of Java, beside Java and parts of Sumatra the people didn't want the Dutch to leave, that's why the Moluqqan an Papoa's fought together with the Dutch against the Nationalist of Java. I think your wive is from Java or Sumatra, if she is saying those things. Maybe you don't know history from Indonesia, but It's just like Scotland is still under English rule.

  • The Dutch army only had 85,000 troops facing the Japanese in 1942 and their air force was no match against the Japanese air force so they were heavily outnumbered and only last a couple months before surrendering.

  • @yankobutt Yes, but the fought braver that the enemy, but had to surrender, what did you expect.

  • Comment removed

  • I don't think that we were bad rulers for Indonesia. Look at the state of that country now!

    Proud to be Dutch, fuck all apologists.

  • @Porkion Idd, kut volk daar.

  • @naroj10 Indonesië, is vergelijkbaar met Europa. Het is een archipel met verschillende volkeren.....

  • @Londo271 Klopt.

  • @Porkion Do you guys really kwow all the facts? I don't think so. Dutch East Indies/Indonesia was never at the same level as the other colonies like Surinam or Antilles. The Indonesians didn't have the Dutch nationality, only a small percentage spoke Dutch, went to school,etc,etc.

  • @Porkion Apologists? Do you guys really know all the facts? I don't think so. The Dutch East Indies/Indonesia was never at the same level as the other colonies like Surinam or Antilles. The Indonesians didn't have the Dutch nationality, only a small percentage spoke Dutch, went to school,etc,etc. There is a difference between the Dutch-East Indiës and Indonesia of today, but its still not that big....its in a different way still colonial, only its not the Dutch now.

  • inilah gambaran tentara yang kalah hanya dengan perlawanan bambu runcing, This picture of soldiers who have lost only by the resistance of stakes

  • i love indonesia & netherlands

  • @yankobutt Shut the fuck up piece of American shit, a country of 8 million people(back than) can't stop a army that's 10x as big.

  • Let's face it. Colonialism is one of the worst things ever happened. It was Inhuman, barbarian, terribly greedy, absolutely unfair and so overbearingly arrogant.

    In all parts of the world colonialism destroyed very old and good working structures of society and business. The world was in balance, so was the trade.

    The Dutch were one of the worst colonialist. In 350 years they didn't really build up a lot in Indonesia. They were very poor developers. As a dutch, I would be ashamed!

  • @Javasurfer1970

    Read your history, the dutch build roads, railways, whole cities like Bandung, and handed all these islands to Java practicaly on a silver platter. We were praised by other countries back then, the portugese or spaniards were far worse

  • @lowrevia Of course the Dutch developed only what's necessary for exploitation. But mostly they were terrorizing the region for over 3 centuries, destroying structures and cultures. There was never a silver platter. It was quite the opposite; Practically a dirty ricebowl filled with bullets, debts and blood of many Indonesians.

    I understand the Dutch romanticize their glorious era. Being powerful and huge. And now, just tiny. But realize, that you caused chaos and blocked the region to raise.

  • @Javasurfer1970

    agreed . but one thing :

    "one of the worst colonialists "

    can you tell me, which colonial power was BETTER than them ?

    germans, americans, japanese, british, and above all spanish and portugues all were worse..

    except the french they were quietly the same level..

  • @Javasurfer1970 your are talking nonsense,the world was not in balance, and the dutch build railways, dams, roads and plenty cities with beautifull buildings.

    you should see history in the right prospective

  • @MsLowrevia So should you.

  • adg: because of Indonesia (also Suriname & Dutch Antilles) Holland became a welshy country... lear your lessons, even when you don,t want to, makes you a better person...

  • @adgw1423 Ehhh....thats the goverment not the Indonesian people.FYI, there was a time/period that the republic of Indonesia wouldn't accept any money or anything else of the Dutch.......

    Have you read all the comments made by the Dutch people?It shows clearly their arrogance,indifference, ignorance of the colonial history of Indonesian archipelago, thats why they reacting in that way.

    Indonesia is not the only country who accepts money, also Kenia, Bangladesh,etc,etc.

  • Can anyone point out one piece of land on the face of this earth that at some point in history would not have been overrun by an invader?

  • The Dutch colonization brought more BAD side than the British anyway. You build infrastucture so you can defend and controled the colony...You educate Indonesian so you can save Your money with very...low paid ...... Please you have to learn about Indonesian Colonial History by Indonesian Prespectif not by yours....

  • Yes, we Indonesians were better under Dutch rule huh?

    Treated third class citizens. First "APARTHEID" rule in ASIA even the world by DUTCH. APARTHEID ALSO by the DUTCH DESCENT(Afrikaner)....

  • Why you said that had a colony make you PROUD anyway??? FYI Timor timur is not our colony but as a new province we do not care about east timor before 1975.But there is civil war. As indonesian,I really disappointment with you because my people(was) has been used as slaves for dutch economic development for hundreds of years. The Dutch leave Indonesia in very poor condition due to the war in 1945-1949 even have to pay more than 4 billion guilders coz the Dutch East Indies debt to DUTCH

  • @ijukj

    They don't care about facts.....Many Dutch do not know the kolonial history or the kolonial society of the Dutch-Indiës.Many of them think that the kolonies of the West: Surinam and Antilles are exactly the same as in the East: Dutch-Indiës.Again...this shows only their ingnorance.Indonesians were never Dutch citizens, had no Dutch citizenship. Did not have the same rights.They were considered as 3rd class citizens.

    And many other things they really have no clue about.

  • NO surprise many Dutch people still think,colonization in indonesia to making indonesian more rich(REALLYYYYY???),MORE CIVILIZATION,more BLAH BLAH BLAH......

    Instead they"re STEALING OUR NATURAL resources to bring to netherlands,and making NEDS richest country in the world. Many dutch people agree with this.

    Indonesian people give more benefit to NED economic DEVELOPMENT although with TANAM PAKSA,SLAVERY,MANY MANY OTHERSSS.

  • hey, we are indonesians have to say thanks to KNIL, at least they leaved their weapons including airplanes and armored vehicles so that we used those weapons to strike british back during malaya confrontation and defended the country from the 2 global political blocks interruption.

    What if we didn't have any weapons when brits established malaya?? what weapons that we had to use to avoid indonesia to become one of comunist country??

  • I can see 2 kind of posters. The dutch, who are very proud of their colonial history, their golden age, and the indonesians, who are very upset about the colonial repression and exploitation under the dutch. sh!t happens... i would suggest not to be angry anymore that the dutch did, what the dutch did... and that the indonesians wanted to get their independence... it's good, how it is right now... both countries can go there own way, living with the values they are expecting from life....

  • @lowrevia

    the dutch controlled the cities, but lost in the countryside... but principally, the dutch lost ethical.

  • Comment removed

  • @sixreasons its the same all ovewr the world my friend one holds power and is deposed only for another to take their place its the ordinary people that suffer as others are power hungry.

  • military,the indonesian tugs were no match for the dutch army,military we won,politically we lost

  • irony of history

    indonesians especially javanese and madurese are become the worst imperialists in the world

    they kill thousand of poor innocents

    they made a genocide in East Timor who never part of ned indie!

    they make now a genocide in west papua and maluku

    only solutions : independence for west papua and maluku under dutch admnistration and distmatle of shameful country of indonesia

  • OMG my beloved Country has colonized for more than 300 years! They took our resources and they left us a huge debt!! damn....

  • @teikucay THen you should not have been become independent. We still take care over Dutch-Antilles for example and that is not a poor country. So shut up with out the Dutch Indonesia would not even exist.

  • @juultjuh99

    You can't compare the Dutch-Antilles or Surinam to the Dutch-Indiës(Indonesia)

    They were treated differently.

    It only shows you ignorance.You don't have any clue of the kolonial history of Indonesia.

    Silly.....

  • @Londo271 Well maybe not late colonial history but VOC history I do. But both of them were Colonies of the Dutch Empire and so citizens. So I guess they weren't treated that different.

  • @juultjuh99

    They were treated differently. After 1892 everyone in Surinam and the Antilles were Dutch citizens, except for the Indonesians of the Dutch-Indiës.They were excluded of the Dutch citizenship. They had the 'Nederlandse onderdaan niet Nederlanders' (in Dutch) that was not the same as a Dutch citizen, not having the same rights.You can't compare the West-Indiës with the East-Indiës, was a different colonial society.

    Like what Ijuki said: " treated like third class citizens"

  • Come on Indonesian people, it was just your fault that you were COLONIZED 300 YEARS because your people weren't strong enough to resist those dutch. On the other hands look: historically strong Asian countries like Japan and Mainland China have never been colonized and they rather colonized other countries like Korea, Taiwan etc.

  • @xxxxxUndisputedxxxxx

    And you"re being colonized by Your neighboring countries like Spain,France and German... IDIOTTT...

  • @ijukj

    In the Past

  • i think we should forget about the past and every nationalist dog should be shot in the legs and trown over board not only indonisans but also dutch

  • @proudtobedutch100 Nationalism is not always a bad thing it is good to love your country.

  • 2:00 the famous flying dutchman

    hahaha

  • ah de oost, veel bloed voor vergiet, ook in eigen famillie, maar het eten is heerlijk. en ik ben een tokrok!

  • Never blame our country again once we rules the world in the Golden age we were smart enough to reach the corners of the world we brought civilization to this world. Without us you were nothing we made you, It is hard but the truth. It is the west (and so also the Dutch) who got the real power over this globe. So please don't say stupid things agains. I see it as this the West is now in his Adult stage while you country is still a child who really got to grown up.

  • @juultjuh99

    "we brought civilization to this world(Indonesia)"

    I got this statement(Almost always) when we talked (with Dutch) about Dutch colonization in Indonesia...They always said about the positif of Their colonization ONLY..Never told about HOW INDONESIA make THE DUTCH very rich with NO HUMANITY and WRONG WAY(WORST COLONIZED in The world..)THE WORST FATE FOR INDONESIAN IS BEING COLONIZED BY THE DUTCH..they even don't know my grandfather was killed by Dutch soldier in 1948(and he's civil).

  • @ijukj Actually I dont care what you think. I got a bit tired of this conversation. I made my point you made your point it' s over now. I don't want to use Youtube as a place to fight. I think Dutch colonization brought good things and bad things lets stick with that. We gave you unity and some form of technology you gave us a lot of money. But I wasn't born them so you can't give us the blame anymore.

  • @juultjuh99

    Its not about blaming you or anyone else, its more about the indifference and the ignorance many Dutch have and even arrogance when talking about the Dutch domination of the Indonesian archipelago and its people.

  • The whole asian continent has ten times more transexuals the the European nations. Then as last Homosexual marriage indeed we got that first I want to say we are not the only one almost every European nation got it then also here we see we are far more advanced in our thinking then you maybe because you are a Islamic nation I don't really know. So it all comes to this Europe his far more advanced then any other country in the world that is in laws, Ideals, Culture, Technology and many more.

  • The most people who are using it are foreigners (also Indonesians) because they can't have it in own country well I think thats sad. Then euthanasia well it seems here that we are more advanced in our thinking then you because why can't a man decide to end his own life it his choice we don't force him it's sad if you holding his decision back because then you let him live even when he doesn't want it. Then transexuals believe me your country has more then ours.

  • Comment removed

  • Now lets discuss your last comment yes indeed some cities in the province of Holland allows prostitution but be careful with that because we may allow it but under strict authority (so no illegal prostitution). Then sex toys well every nations got those things so don't worry about that. Also every country got prostitution only we deal it otherwise. Than about the drugs yes we got it and yes some of it are allowed but only a tiny tiny tiny tiny group of our population uses it.

  • Also we united the Indonesian people under one banner otherwise the nations of Indonesia would never exist. And indeed we robbed your country but at that time that was normal and every European nation did the same. Then also the Netherlands (not Holland thats jsut a province) isn't a disgrace at all we are relativity one of the most richest countries of the world. Our people have a perfect wealth and love their lives.

  • If they hadn't then half of the world was still not civilized and humanity would never be evolved and your people would still fight with bows and swords. And we didn't destroyed your culture completly for example look at your language you still talk Bahasa Indonesia and not Dutch so the Dutch Empire spared your language. Also religion, Indonesians are still Islamic and not Christian also your relgion is still preserved.

  • I think, if Dutch was never colonized, there would be no Indonesia nowadays... Each kingdom such as Mataram, Cirebon, etc would grow and develop themselves to be different countries.

    Areas designated as Indonesian is the former Dutch East Indies colony, if there was no Dutch East Indies there would be no Indonesia.

  • I was better if Indonesia was still under Dutch Colonial Rule we could prevent many floods out there look to our Dutch delta works. Also just like Africa Indonesia also got more poor after the European Colonial Empires granted them independence maybe it is not so bad those Colonial powers at least the world was more stable then these days. Greetz from the Netherlands

  • @juultjuh99

    maybe if indonesia was never colonized, the kingdom of majapahit, sriwijaya, and mataram will be unite as united kingdom and rise as world power, as america enjoy multicultural economic boom during 1800s when europes having war, indonesia enjoyed that multicultural economic advantage way be4, in 1500 and 1600s, where we could trade to all nations in the world, until the fu*king VOC came

  • @jakartans

    Well it seemed your people weren't strong enough to resist the Dutch and had to bow for the Dutch flag. I'm sorry mate but that is the truth. Europe just ruled the world at that time for 300 years you can't go around that and the colonized people of this world just have to accept that.

  • @juultjuh99

    you have to also accept NAZI Germany fucked ur country up..

    Look at Rotterdam now, Amsterdam, even Eindhoven and Haarlem.

    Everythings gone...God is great, what u stole from Indonesia for three hundred

    of years demolished in three years by the NAZI.

    look at holland now, nothing but disgrace..

    embracing tourism with weed, stash, hashish, mushrooms, sex toys, prostitution, drugs, euthanasia, transexuals and homosex marriages...such a disgusting stuffs to be proud of.

  • @jakartans

    Ive seen a protestan church in between a sadomachocist sex shop and a weed bakery with rodeo stand and peep show rooms.

    Again God is good. Holland the country where ancestor of thiefs and corruptors lived before get soo humiliated in such a civilised era of 21st century.

  • @jakartans

    Whaha you are funny you really are. Indeed the Nazi's did occupy us like the rest of Europe, but the cities Amsterdam, Eindhoven and Haarlem are completely saved from destruction and even Rotterdam isn't completely destroyed only the center so don't say things you know nothing about. Indeed we colonized your nation like all the European nations we just were superior to the rest of the world. But you must remember that the Europeans have civilized the world.

  • @juultjuh99: Talking about superiority, what about the Japanese occupation? How couldn't you Dutch (Europeans) resist the Japanese (Asians) invasion?

  • @VideoUploaderTester Because they were the rich Japanese, not like the rest of shitty Asia.

  • @HardBonezFederation LOL You just admitted it, so it's not about European supremacy, but it's just about MONEY......

  • @VideoUploaderTester What the hell are you talking about... Japanese Empire was one of the most superior nation in the world they even beat Russia in Russo-Japanese War and Battle of Tsushima, and the only powerful country from the Asia. Unlike the rest of shitty Asian countries.

  • @juultjuh99 The East Europrean countries were conquered by the Mongolian empire under Genghis Khan rule and they were mass raped especially Polish women and Japan defeated Russian empire at the Russo-Japanese War though. Indeed the west Europeans WERE superior no doubt (not all of them) but we mongoloids (yellow race) pretty much dominated East Europeans than they dominated us. Let's not forget that, just saying.

  • Typo nazi.

  • @sixreasons :

    We all know what makes our country in poverty, the JAVANESE ! In Soeharto era, the Javanese gain control in almost every aspect. Soeharto implemented Tirany by appointing Military Officers (Under his Influence) to become Ministers, Mayors, Commissioners, and other important positions.

    People who disagree with him, will be KILLED or DISAPPEAR misteriously ... and found DEAD in the swamp. Soeharto acted like a DICTATOR ! more like Burma and North Korea in these days ...

  • @billyasik some points I agree with you.I agree Suharto had bad record in his era,but he's better than others so far. Look what he's done compared to others leader.Yes,he zipped our mouth to free speech.What he's done is to keep Indonesia stabilize.

    For example today, how bad Indonesia look. in Suharto era,islamic radical like Abu bakar Bashier, was not allowed to live in Indonesia.Since Suharto collapsed, these stupid radical islamic organization free to speak and do stupid action in Indo.

  • @sixreasons I like you, you're a different breed of Indonesian.

  • @NLFonsseals:

    I think its bcuz our history book, but Im not sure about history book in reformation era, It's hard to alter the mindset when hatred had been spread since the first time we learnt history.. I think both countries need to rewritten history together so its gunna be fair and Indonesian could see another positive points of colonies in the past,

  • Dutch Army? they gave up in 1942 not a shot in anger,even the Japanese had no respect for them

  • bullshit !!! Indonesia before the coming of dutch were sailor people they used to trade with their phenomenal ship "Pinisi" to south afrika, arab, persia, china and turk ottoman

    your dutch is very stingy and canny

    Japan is better

  • so you prefer indo girl being jogun yanfu a.k.a prostitute for jap soldiers??

    oh c'mon.... you go to Netherlands... they have indonesie museum, they still keep indo heritage compared to jap..

    in my opinion throughout our history....

    Indo and Netherland were in good relationship before WW II til the jap came... u talked bout we're sailor.. thats not Indonesia.. but Nusantara.. take positive things from colonization, yes alot slavery but they brough advanced technology n civilization...

  • . please broaden ur knowledge, I read tracy chevalier book about Vermeer, I understand what's happening there... you know, in the past.. when we're still the part of them, they sang indonesian song at school?

    so what do u think about Jogun Yanfu, I tell u, Japan was a NAZI Asia... even Chinese hate them, bcuz they raped girls..

    I'm Indonesian, not stranger but I see thing objectively! Who brought Kartini as Heroin? DUTCH.. that's the called Hero for Indo, a girl who brave n smart in HER TIMES

  • oops I mean heroine, n their language is not ugly..I m sick of Indonesian who said, they divided Indonesia stuff.. Indonesia archipelago would never exist if NL never colonized us! Atcheh war is the proof, they never want to be a part of Netherland Indies(INDONESIA today).. they didnt want to be apart of Java... I dont say Dutch is simply good.. they also had black record in history,slavery..but they dont rape like Jap..pervert! well educated indo in the past speak Dutch!

  • @lansanak so you dont know what the netherlands is.

  • Comment removed

  • Indonesia became a shithole after the Japs came and after it got independent, why do you think so many Indonesians themself left Indonesia to go to the Netherlands...

  • And yes I do have respect for Japanese people, nothing wrong about them...

  • Well,look at East Timor from the 1980s, the Indos treated them far worse than your people treated the Indos. Now they have Islamics runing around planting bombs and attacking Christian schools and tourist traps. The Japs murdered millions and they admire them?

  • At 2:01 we see Brewster fighter planes taxiing and a little later on take-off. These fighters arrived in the Dutch East Indies in 1941. So the filmclip is not from 1938-39

  • "destroyxeverything"

    You are insane. Just so you know.

  • so horrible..... no pride.... no happiness.....

  • Folks,

    Aside from the other "interesting" debates and views on this thread the title of this video is wrong. The video shows the Brewster Buffalo fighter aircraft. These aircraft were not delivered until 1941.

  • ini menjelaskan bahwa negara belanda membangun negaranya dari jerih payah orang indonesia,...jadi kita harus berbangga sebenarnya mereka bisa maju karena keringat bangsa indonesia . merdeka!!!!

  • Menggelikan... Negeri Belanda sudah ada jauh sebelum bangsa dan negara yang bernama "Indonesia" ada. Negeri ini sudah jauh lebih kuat dan maju dari kesultanan2 kecil di Kepulauan Hindia. Kekuasaan Belanda di Indonesia adalah konsekuensi dari kehebatannya.

  • I have scanned through these postings from the last year. It amazes me how misinformed and blinded by emotions these opinions are. This is a very interesting subject. What are the effects of centuries long domination of one people over the other. None of these postings have mentioned what colonialism has done to the colonials themselves. Some of the posters have expressed opinions they have heard from grand parents, whose visions might have been blurred by the years that have passed.

  • Comment removed

  • KNIL capitulated because of the Japanese treated to bomb and attack Bandoeng (that time it was full of refugees). That's the reason: to save Indonesian lives. But stupid Indonesians don't understand that and keep insulting their own protector. And after 60 years under the Republican rule... Look what happened to the Indies. As barbaric and inhumane as it was 400 years ago.

  • Yes, they were better of under Dutch rule. This is the thanks you get, for bringing prosparity and education to their country.

  • Yes, we Indonesians were better under Dutch rule huh?

    Treated third class citizens. while the Chinese Indonesians are second class citizens.

    Fucked our women as if they were meant to pleasure you fuckers.

    Expect us to learn Dutch as the official language

    Thank god the Japs came and send your colonializing asses back to Europe.

  • Much more civilized. Indonesians will be mature if they are still under Dutch rule. Racist law is not forever and even now Indonesians are stil racist with Javanese on the top, Melanesians the second and Chinese the third.

    Fucked your women? Yes, as husband and wife. Expect to learn Dutch? Dutch was not the language of the majority of Indonesians.

    And thank "god", Japanese came and destroyed everything include your certain prosperity if you're still under Dutch rule. Poor, pityful peoples.

  • Precisely, and with the language part, the Dutch actually used the Malay language as the administration language of the Dutch East Indies actually, of which it later became the national language of Indonesia.

  • Im Indonesian,disagree with u.. if Dutch never colonized Indonesia, from Sabang to Merauke would never exist..

    1. The named this archipelago:dutch indies... if they never conquered this archipelagoes.. not sure Sumatra and java will be united each other?

    2.Indonesian word from tech, medicine .. bank.. comes from dutch words..wad ya think?

    3.Japan Occupation? hundreds years Dutch colonized Indonesia, they never raped Indo girl..Japan.. they made Indo girls as prostitute...

  • @NLFonsseals shut up dude, we kick your ass out from indonesia, we won the war against you and your stupid army.. hahahahaha you and your experienced and well equiped army cant even beat a bunch of peasant using sharpen bamboo as a weapon.. that showed the world that you guys are loser, and we (indonesian) are the winner..

    1. we dont need Euro

    2. no prison in suriname because whole country is a prison

    3. we gain our independence with our blood and your blood.. that makes us more honorable hah

  • @geralz

    EURO in this way is a Shortening of Europa.

    2 Suriname nowadays sucks. shush, tell me something i dont know.

    3 we had the same. we fought the spanish,

    We didnt have to do stuff in indonesia, in fact, we were packing our bags. The army was green, that does alot. Our army isnt stupid, MY country isnt loser, its yours. We are rich, well educated, and have good housing.

    our GDP is almost 10 times as high, we dont invest everything in our army. Really, You lived trough nothing. Hush.

  • @NLFonsseals :

    1. Yes, i kniow that, which means every country outside Europe that use Euro as their Currency, their Economy is depended on Europe, not themselves.

    2. Suriname is Sucks, dont you know ? if Suriname turns into "New Manhattan" and have its own "Times Square", you can say what you gave them in 1975 is a good thing.

    3. Yeah, your army is Great, you colonized my country and defeated so many kingdoms. But now we got our own Modern Warfare, and larger number of Soldiers, so cut it out,

  • @billyasik your saying that my government opressed the Indian people until the end, 1949. what you learn in there is madness. I dont care about your nationalist rants, They dont affect me. You likely dont know the Ethical Policy, and if so, not the good sides. You of course were treated like slaves at the start. that was NORMAL. N-O-R-M-A-L. Then we radically changed it all. Look at belgium. that was like 100x worse. Until the end, 1960.

  • @NLFonsseals :

    What madness ? can you explain to me ?

    and what ethical policy ?

    NORMAL ? i know, my ancestors needed nothing from your ancestors but your ancestors needed our natural resources, so you made us your slave to take what we had, i know that, your ancestors had no choice but to use Rifles and Cannons and use "Devide et Impera" to weaken Local Kingdoms in here. Can you tell me when this "Radical" change happened ? and what was with Belgium ? 100x worse ? what do you mean ?

  • @billyasik Your ignorance does not deserve a response... i pointed out all the obvious and you still dont understand. the ethical policy came in 1901, and we UNITED Indonesia. Thats how it is. out.

  • @geralz You sound like a fucking Nazi or some stupid republican patriot. I'm really happy to live in Holland and not in the jungle. And what does your country has? Nothing. Maybe you should come and live in Holland. We have good education, healthcare and houses.

  • @pimhond

    not any more.....hahahaa

  • @Londo271 Well. We do.

  • @NLFonsseals :

    First of All, We are Happy with our name, INDONESIA. I know what you did to Suriname, but in 1945 we got Really sick of Dutch Colonization, your ancestors treated my ancestors like Slaves, so we fought back and demanded Independence. I didn't say our condition here a lot better after your Grandfathers left, but we got what we want, no more "Meneer". But still, we can be friends, and rebuild that Relation again with different situation.

  • @NLFonsseals-- It's funny I've never hate the modern dutch these day .Even i support their national football team (but too bad spain did it).. but i never consider or even imagine what would be if the dutch imperialist still here. good for suriname but i think british treat their ex colony better if I'm not mistaken. and i'd rather die with my both hand untie (n n)..Regards

  • @sadowcaser It was kinda Human, the Brits gave free their colonys. you tore yourself apart, and refused all help. so its Kinda like this

    'Well, if you hate me, why help you?'

    But we always cared about you guys.

  • @NLFonsseals Exactly. But already in 1952, Sukarno and his terrorist regime separated from the Union. But the Dutch policy in our Indies was a bit naive. In 1945, they should have proposed a Confederation of Indonesian states. As Maluku (Moluk Islands), Borneo, Papua New Guinee ("Iryan Jaya"), Timor, Batavia etc. were all pro-Dutch, this state form would never have wanted to separate from the Netherlands. Even in 2010, Papuas want to return under Dutch rule. The Papuas like whites.

  • Fascinerend materiaal. Moeilijk voor te stellen hoe ondemocratisch onze maatschappij toen was. Onvoorstelbaar bijvoorbeeld dat inlanders geen officiersrangen mochten bekleden - en een tactische fout, zoals later zou blijken...

  • Dear mister r45tisns7

    We have said each other hard words. Of my side my excuses for that. let we have from now on a friendly discussion. I suspect that you appreciate the Dutch colonists as well. I hope that you agree with me that we (the Belanda people) have done also much good things in the Dutch Indies. THE KNIL was nevertheless a proud army.

    You eand my people had jhave a shared history of more than 350 years. Let we pray that one day we are friends again.

    Greetings from Belanda.

  • Agree!! its all in the past, what is done its done, nothing we can do about it but let us be friends then. greetings from slovakia..I'm Indo/slovakian by the way..

  • Dear Sir,

    Thank you for your reply. Yes it much better to be friends. Sorry again for my bad words.

    Indo/Slovakian? What's happend? How is it possible that your came to Slovakia?

    About the Belanda's.. Yes, it is true we made our mistakes, but not only mistakes. We (Belanda's and Indonesian) shared more than 350 years. I hope and pray our two nations come one time together in real peace and respect. This 350 years will not be in vain.

    Best wishes from Holland/The Netherlands.

  • colonial dutch army, after exchanging few shots with the japanese they ran away and simply dispersed, their commanders and generals bowing to the japanese, begging them to spare their pathetic lives..what an army eh?? good for bullying unarmed civillians and fighting against medieval obsolete ancient army. Hindiabelanda you must be very proud huh??

  • wwooww hindiabelanda is pissed!! It is ignorant bastards like you that is annoying you dumb bitch ass cock sucking motherfucker!! go to hell you prick!!

  • Can you please keep once your brutal mouth, monkey!

    Here are Dutchman in conversation and then is is quite annoying that there is a stupid character like you amongst us.

    Can you please clean up your dirty country en make it clean like we leaved it.

    And now... go to your kampong and I let you no longer hear!!

  • oohh the mighty KNIL...totally humiliated and humbled by the Japanese. they were only good at killing unarmed civilians or fighting against medieval armies of indonesia's sultanates.

  • One time we (the Dutch) will come back....

    The Indies under de gouvenement of the Dutch was the best time for the native Indonesian people.

    Very proud for what we (the Netherlands people) had archieved overthere in more than 350 years. It will not be forgotten.

    The Republic = corruption
