JAKARTA History today, 80 years ago, April 30, 1943, the celebration of the birthday of the Dutch Crown Princess, Juliana is no longer being held. The Dutch in the archipelago no longer dared to hold celebrations for fear of the Japanese colonialists. Moreover, most of them have the fate of living in an interniric camp.
Previously, the celebration of Princess Juliana's birthday was often carried out with great fanfare. Celebration of parties appears everywhere. The owner of power even forced the natives to join in praying for Princess Juliana for a long life.
The Dutch colonialists had a big role in perpetuating many parties in the archipelago. The party events held are usually to commemorate a big day for the Netherlands. The inauguration of the Dutch ruler, Queen Wilhelmina on August 31, 1898, for example.
The medicine was greeted with great fanfare in the Netherlands and the entire Dutch colony. Even in the following years, every August 31, the Dutch routinely hold parties to celebrate the commemoration of Queen Wilhelmina's meritorious day.
The presence of Gambir Market in Batavia is one of the parties. The event, which began in 1906, is often the entertainment that children and adults have been waiting for. Dutch parties grew even more when Queen Wilhelmina and her husband, Prince Hendrik, were blessed with a child.
The child who was born on April 30, 1909 is the Crown Princess of the Netherlands, Juliana. Queen Wilhelmina also instructed saban on April 30 to commemorate her son's birthday. The birthday celebration was even held lively in the Dutch East Indies (now: Indonesia).
Entertainment attractions often fill the fields in big cities. Likewise, the natives were also forced to pray for Princess Juliana for a long life in a house of worship.
The entire Dutch family and their colony welcomed the birth of Princess Juliana with great fanfare. Likewise in the Dutch East Indies, it is written in the book Electronic Awakening Indonesia 1908-1912 (2008).
Everything changed when Japan began to invade the Dutch East Indies. The Land of the Rising Sun was able to make the Dutch power in the archipelago end. All because Japan has excelled from all kinds of lines. From troops to weapons.
Then, Japan began to treat the Europeans'mainly the Dutch' inhumanely. Japan did this as a form of retaliation for their actions to make the natives occupy the lowest strata in the community order. Whoever has Dutch blood, they will be hunted down and put into an internirese camp.
Since then, the celebration of Princess Juliana's birthday began to get bland. No one dared to hold the celebration on April 30, 1943. The field to the park in various places looked deserted. There are no signs of crowds. All because Japan will always terrorize every Dutchman who dares to celebrate.
