15 Augustus

Vandaag, 15 augustus 2020, was het precies 75 jaar geleden dat de Tweede Wereldoorlog ten einde kwam. Japan maakte zijn capitulatie bekend. In Nederland wordt dat nu beperkt gevierd. Voor Nederland in 1945 betekende dat Nederlands-Indië ook weer bevrijd en Nederlands zou worden. Bevrijd wel, maar niet meer Nederlands. Twee dagen na de Japanse capitulatie riep Soekarno de republiek Indonesië uit. Na een kostbare (koloniale) oorlog waarin Nederland de soevereiniteit probeerde te heroveren, werd die in december 1949 aan Indonesië overgedragen. Aan beide zijden vielen vele slachtoffers.

Today, 15 August 2020, it was exactly 75 years ago that the Second World War ended. Japan announced its capitulation. These days the end of WW2 is commemorated on a limited scale in The Netherlands.
For The Netherlands in 1945 it meant that also the Netherlands Indies were liberated and the idea was that it would become Netherlands Indies again. Liberated it was, but not again Dutch. Two days after the Japanese capitulation the republic Indonesia was proclaimed by Soekarno. After an expensive (colonial) war in which The Netherlands tried to reconquer sovereignty, this was handed over to Indonesia in december 1949. On both sides there were many casualties.
