The Dark History of the Netherlands: What Our Pupils Learn About the War in Indonesia (1945 - 1949)

What do Dutch school children learn about the Dutch war crimes in Indonesia during the war? How is history education in the Netherlands shaped? In 1942 the Japanese conquest of the Dutch East Indies took place. Indonesia during WW II was under Japanese occupation. After Japan surrendered the Indonesian War of Independence (Politionele Acties) started. In 1949 the sovereignty transfer (soevereiniteitsoverdracht) took place. Indonesia thus became independent in 1949, although the Indonesians had declared themselves independent in 1945. What is taught about this war? In the video a history teacher will tell you all about it.
