Battle of the Java Sea

The Japanese invasion of the Dutch East Indies progressed at a rapid pace as they
advanced from their Palau Islands colony and captured bases in Sarawak and the southern
Philippines. They seized bases in eastern Borneo and in northern Celebes while troop convoys,
screened by destroyers and cruisers with air support provided by swarms of fighters operating
from captured bases, steamed southward through the Makassar Strait and into the Molucca Sea.
To oppose these invading forces was a small force, consisting of Dutch, American, British &
Australian warships—many of them of World War I vintage—initially under the command of
Admiral Thomas C. Hart.
On 23 January 1942, a force of four American destroyers attacked a Japanese invasion
convoy in Makassar Strait as it approached Balikpapan in Borneo. On 13 February, the Allies fought
unsuccessfully—in the Battle of Palembang—to prevent the Japanese from capturing the major oil
port in eastern Sumatra. On the night of 19/20 February, an Allied force attacked the Eastern
Invasion Force off Bali in the Battle of Badung Strait. Also on 19 February, the Japanese made
two air raids on Darwin, on the Australia mainland, one from carrier based planes and the other by
land based planes. The destruction of Darwin rendered it useless as a supply and naval base to
support operations in the East Indies.
Shortly before the battle commenced, the odds were not good for the Allied forces. They
lacked cohesion (ships came from four separate navies) and were demoralized by constant air
attacks and a general sentiment that the Japanese were unbeatable. In addition, the coordination
between Allied navies and air forces was poor.

D. Read the text carefully!

The Proclamation of Indonesian Independence was read at 10.00 a.m. on Friday,
17 August 1945. The declaration marked the start of the diplomatic and armed resistance
of the Indonesian National Revolution, fighting against the forces of the Netherlands and
pro-Dutch civilians, until the latter officially acknowledged Indonesia's independence in
1949. In 2005, the Netherlands declared that they had decided to accept de facto 17
August 1945 as Indonesia's independence date. In a 2013 interview the Indonesian
historian Sukotjo, amongst others, asked the Dutch government to formally acknowledge
the date of independence as 17 August 1945. The United Nations, who mediated in the
conflict, formally acknowledge the date of independence as 27 December 1949.
The document was signed by Sukarno (who signed his name "Soekarno" using the
older Dutch orthography) and Mohammad Hatta, who were appointed president and vice-
president respectively the following day.
