The great national awakening....

Re: The great national awakening…

I agree with the bit in bold, India was divided before the British came but the British made gaps into canyons. :cb:

As for Indonesia they too were divided before the Colonials came, for example some Islands had completely different religious and ethnic groups… but the Western powers went too far and as I will detail in later posts it was the actions of the Westerners that caused the Indonesians to rally and fight together.
