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?
