Goa was a Portuguese colony for 450years yet virtually no one speaks Portuguese today.

Anecdote: i, a dutch person, was backpacking in Sumatra. Someone invited me to be shown their town hall. A very old man was there who (without knowing i was dutch) immediately spoke to me in fluent dutch. I asked him: how is your Dutch so fluent? He answered: i learnt it when "you" were here. That humbles a person.....

Saya orang Indonesia...kenapa kami tidak bisa bahasa belanda...tidak seperti malaysia brunai dan Singapura mereka anggap bahwa inggris adalah malaikat mereka Tidak seperti belanda mereka kejam kepada kami...disiksa tanam paksa hasil nya mereka yang untung sehingga bisa membuat bendungan serta anggaran perang... Kami disini di miskinkan di peras serta dibodohkan sehingga kami benci sekali belanda...bahkan kita sering memberi perlawanan perang didaerah daerah....untuk cita cita apa sebenarnya kata MERDEKA ATAU MATI Silahkan tanya dan survey 1 saja orang Indonesia....Belanda itu waktu menjajah baik apa kejam ...pasti mereka semua sepakat jawab KEJAM Sejak itulah kami tidak mau menggunakan belanda

Why would we talk in colonizer language? Disgusting

Dutch is stingy, not like british, they taught the countries they colonized their language but dutch didnt. But im proud of it, we dont need it anyways.

because for 3.5 centuries there have been sporadic and continuous wars in various regions in Indonesia. The people fought with any weapons, including bamboo which was made sharp to be thrust into the Dutch troops. At that time, many Dutch and Allied soldiers died from being stabbed by sharpened bamboo sticks. resistance made antipathetic people use Dutch.

am sorry,,my grandma was speaking dutch...but she didn't teach to her child or grand child,,cause we have so many language in our country to speak so we dicided to speak our motjer tounge language ,,,its mean indonesia language

As an indonesian, dutch is an ASS language. I always wished we were colonized by germans cuz german is an actual useful language😭

Nobody has apologized for their stupid ancestral mistakes. Now they pay for it lah when China becomes RULER of THE WORLD !!!

I just want to live to see uk and dutchland, portugal and spain be colonies of China !!! Hail President Xi !!!!

It should be a good thing, because Bahasa Indonesia (formal) itself can be confusing sometimes even for us Indonesians lol

Thank you Aztecs 🇲🇽🇮🇹💪

De facto Indonesia had been independent in August 17th 1945

The Dutch crimes in Indonesia is not forgotten.

8:43 In 1910, Balai Pustaka is the first ever institution who standardize Malay. Despite the language exist for more than 1000 years prior, it never had any standard. Balai Pustaka's Malay was transform into Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) in 1927. But, most of Malay in Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei are still using Balai Pustaka's Malay as the refference. Because it based on "Higher Malay" which is more polite and constructive than the original Folk's Malay.

Ga penting menggunakan bahasa penjajah biadab seperti belanda yang sudah menyengsarakan rakyat Indonesia. Apalagi bangsa Indonesia sudah memiliki bahasa kebanggaannya sendiri yaitu bahasa Indonesia.

Britain really is the worst, they don't do their nonsense these days only because they can't get away with it. The British treasure their drug dealing queen Victoria, not realising that she was trash.

I don't know much about the topic, so seeing that opium addiction is still a current epidemic was a little jarring (almost felt anachronistic). Maybe it's my own western bias but it feels like an understated problem that I never hear much about. Great video!

my grandpa speak Dutch 🇳🇱 and my son half dutch but he can't speak Dutch cuz his daddy never speak dutch to him

The collective Western imperialist dishonest leadership anticidences is the problem of most development in the World.

I had no idea that that happened. Very interesting and educational video!

As Indonesian, we are proud Bahasa Indonesia ❤ 🇮🇩

The question is: Why we have to? 💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻 NAH

To call Britain a small regional power and China one of the most powerful countries in the world is laughably ignorant on the topic. Britain colonized numerous countries and large swathes of several continents at this point. Britain had already colonized the new world. While China controlled little more than the land we would call China today and few neighboring territories. Also you make it sound as if the British colonized Indian with this goal in mind, and completely fail to mention that it had already been colonized by the Portuguese before them. And I’ve barely started the video……..

The British should go down on their knees and beg Chinas forgiveness for this despicable opium trade of their ancestors. A crime sgainst humanity comparable with the Atlantic Slave Trade, The Holycaust, The present war in Gaza, The Japanese in Manchuria, etc

The f' in Europeans normalize colonization ! Look at the pattern - they colonized entire planet and act like nothing happened - cognitive dissonance

There is an interesting fact that when Lin confiscated opium from British merchants, they were British government property. [ Lin finally demanded that the British merchants surrender all their opium to the local authorities, which the British superintendent of trade, Charles Elliot, did after giving the British opium merchants guarantees that they would be compensated by the government for their lost property. When Lin Zexu started to destroy the confi scated opium in May 1839, he was therefore destroying British government property, which would provide the British with an excuse to demand compensation under the threat of war. ] From Pär Kristoffer Cassel - Grounds of Judgment

Holy crap, the Mists of Pandaria soundtrack in the background really made it hard to concentrate on the awesome narration due to sheer nostalgia. Anyway, fantastic video!

Caffeine is as much a narcotic as opium. That’s not a judgement-in the basic sense of psychoactive substances. Anti-drug enforcement is always focused on the supply side, but never stops to ask what the drug is doing for the user. For 18th century china, it only took combining the harsh reality of 18th century life anywhere with a several millennia old culture of prioritizing group survival and harmony over individual welfare. Today China is still battling with large swaths of social disengagement, they’re just not hopped up on dope. This is why they cracked down on video games. The EIC lucked out by finding a market, but to say exploited really washes over cultural forces and robs people of their agency.

I've been consuming 'Purple Voodoo' at ~$50 for 200g cake.

China has no problem shipping pre-cursors for Fentynal to the west.

The USA makes it profits off of war.

Lots of opium and African slaves were sold in the name of the queen.

Loved it, very good! 👍🏽

Great video!

Correction : Indonesia became independent on August 17, 1945 !! The Proclamation of Indonesian Independence was read by Soekarno, accompanied by Mohammad Hatta, at Jakarta. Indonesia declared its independence shortly before Japan's surrender, but it required four years of sometimes brutal fighting, intermittent negotiations (Indonesia War of Independence) , and UN mediation before the Netherlands agreed to transfer sovereignty in 1949.

Kami, bangsa Indonesia, menjunjung tinggi bahasa persatuan, Bahasa Indonesia

Inonesia's elite spoke Dutch. Now they speak English. To unite the country Bahasa Indonesian was introduced.

Many better languages in Indonesia. Why speaking Dutch? Only 2 b able 2 talk 2 few people.. n not d great ones.

This was such a well made video. Voice over is peaceful and in pretentious, imagery is lovely, background music is not overwhelming and the information is delivered in a well constructed narrative. Well done, and thank you.

Mengapa kita perlu mempelajari Bahasa musuh yang tidak berguna?

Apakah harus bersyukur ? Aapun alesannya jadi Indo gak terlalu ke-branding as Dutch colony ? 😮

Pembelokan sejarah yg sempurna

It was colonized for no more than 150 years .see google . Dutch did not want the prople to be clever .. only elite Indonesia can enrolled into dutch school ..

because the Dutch self is Change language they sayyed is Dutch language 1945 not function 40 years ago after '80(niece Queen Beatrix self sayyed that)

when i was kid i realize that, how dutch occupied our country for hundred years but we can't speak dutch😅

They do actually, Recent generations just don't usually learn dutch like their Grandparents did since We already have our own language

FYI, Indonesian independence is 17th August 1945, not 1949. So that could be seen that Dutch has been doing war crime for 4 years but they denied it b'cos they dont wanna seen as perpetrators of war crimes as they do military aggression after Indonesian independency proclamation twice.

Indonesia dont speak dutch but so many languange similar .... we also sleep with guling like dutch.. we also eat some food similar with dutch foood. Dutch food,languange and life 30 % stilll live in indonesia ... in middle indonesia

Good for them 👏👏
