I know next to nothing about the DEI relative to everyone else out there, but one question has not yet been asked. Namely, what about the destruction of the myth of the White Man's invincibility in WWII before the very eyes of the natives in SE Asia? And this can't be handwaved away by the simple observations that the Whites "haven't lost" and are "doing better than OTL".
What the natives see is an
Asian country kicking White Ass all over the Pacific, and if the Whites are still "holding on" in North Malaya, Singapore, Burma, and Sumatra, they certainly AREN'T in Hong Kong, Indo-China, Siam, the Philippines, Borneo, the Eastern DEI, the Pacific Islands of Rabaul/Wake/Guam, and New Guinea. Soon to be added Java?

(1) Which could be seen as the final stronghold lost before the dominoes fall all over the South-West Pacific.
1) And the cherry on this s*** sundae is the ultimate humiliation upon the White Race by the Yellow Race in WWII (ITTL): Pearl Harbor. If Asiatics could do all that, what could the locals in the DEI do to the Dutch?
I'm not saying this is accurate. Quite the opposite, in fact. I'm saying this would have to be the reaction of a lot of native locals in the DEI upon whom the yoke of colonial rule has rested a lot heavier (less enlightened rule) than in the British Empire. So there are going to be many people very happy to see the Whites beaten.
Even if the Allies are successful in Java, they still have a lot of territory lost to the Japanese. The political damage taken because of this will be fatal to Dutch rule in the DEI, whatever they may tell themselves.

Post-WWII, post-Nazi occupation, post-liberation (and all the damage THAT caused) the Netherlands simply won't have the ability, the resources, the $$$, to keep ahold of those islands. I fear that being in a better shape than OTL they may try to fight all the harder to hold on to them. Dutch Vietnam?
Opinions?
