As I'm sure most of you know, after WWI the Kaiser of Germany took refuge in the Netherlands, and the small antion refused to extradite him.

My question is, could this turn into an international crisis? For instance, I was toying with a way to get the East Indies in Japan's hands before the Sino-Japanese War; since Japan felt like they got screwed over in the peace treaties, is there a way that they might "take the initiative" on this one, and use the Dutch refusal to surrender the abdicated Kaiser as a reason to occupy Indonesia?

If so, how would the rest of the world react? Or would this whole thing just blow over like it seemed to OTL?
