(Old page) East Indies Crisis - do not edit: Difference between revisions

 

For the Netherlands, the war’s end meant that it had an entire generation a total of 4.7 million men almost if not more that had seen war. This had shocked the nation and in the years following the war, it dealt with refugees coming in from the east, the reformation of the Dutch power structure economy, and a broken generation that tried to move on from this brutal conflict that had shaped the nation. It became a neutral nation and with a massive arms industry due to the war only began to reform its economy away from those things where possible. Its aerospace industry became focused on civilian products while still retaining the advanced and experienced from the war. It changed the balance of power in Europe with it becoming neutral and taking the German states that bordered it with it into neutrality. While for the indies it resulted in the Vrijstaat van Malakka being formed and the new nation in the archipelago to take shape. It left a region in chaos something that was used by Taulandt to strengthen its position and oddly become a major investor into the young country.
