So you mean most Dutch people did not learn the invasion before 2005?
I don't know why you claim Japanese did not learn anything. I feel the war criminal trials were quite unfair (I don't know just 8 day war with your country would really have deserved the highest persectution rate), but I totally agree Japan paid reparation your country as well as a newly born country, Indonesia, then.
You said your country acknowleged the invation, so tell me how much reparation your country paid to your former colonies and when she apologised them.
