Did the Dutch Provoke the Japanese Invasion of the Dutch East Indies? 

Early 1942 the Dutch East Indies Campaign started. In a few month the Japanese conquered the Dutch East Indies. The KNIL (Koninklijk Nederlands Indisch Leger; Royal Netherlands East Indies Army) was not able to stop the Japanese onslaught. Did you know it were the Dutch themselves who declared war on Japan. This happened shortly after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. But was this really necessary? Was there a possible settlement such as what happened in French Indo-China?
