Question about WW2..

[BrickHouse88]

I was reading on Google that Hitler invaded and conquered Holland in May 1940..

Ok, but I also read on Google that Japan invaded the Dutch East Indies after Pearl Harbor, December 7th, 1941 though to obtain thee oil fields in the Dutch East Indies..

My question is, why would Japan need to attack thee Dutch East Indies in 1941-1942 if Hitler had already conquered Holland in 1940..?

Wouldn’t thee Dutch East Indies have fallen if Holland had fallen to the Nazi’s a year or so prior?

The oil fields wouldn´t walk to Japan, I guess.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Japan needed oil imports because the US had cut off its oil to Japan.

Were Dutch troops in the Dutch East Indies supposed to pay their own way to Germany to surrender?

 

[Polishprince]

Dutch armies in the homeland surrendered, those in their overseas territories did not. And why would they, if Germany wasn't sending over armies to force a surrender?

Why would that be so? I am sure there were free Dutch just as there had been free French.

Why did Hitler stop the successful invasion of France just before Dunkerk …. For so long as it took to let the English escape?

Who knows?

 

[Captain Caveman]

Holland is a region of the Netherlands so it's like calling America, Florida.

Because he wanted peace with the UK. He tried repeatedly after Dunkirk to obtain a peace agreement with the UK. The warmongering drunken fool Churchill said fuck off.

You didn’t answer the question though, idiot.

Probably because Göring told him he is capable to get them with his air force.

Göring was bragging
