Battle of Ambon : ウィキペディア英語版 | Battle of Ambon
The Battle of Ambon (30 January–3 February 1942) occurred on the island of Ambon in the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia), during World War II. A Japanese invasion was resisted by Dutch and Australian forces. The chaotic and sometimes bloody fighting was followed by a series of major Japanese war crimes. ==Background== During 1941, as the Allies perceived the possibility of war with Japan, Ambon was seen to be a strategic location,〔 〕 because of its potential as a major air base. The Australian government and military commanders saw that it could be used in raids on northern Australia and decided to reinforce the Dutch forces on the island. On 14 December 1941, a convoy composed of escorts and with the Dutch ships ''Both'', ''Valentijn'', and ''Patras'' carrying 1,090 troops of "Gull Force" departed Darwin and arrived at Ambon on 17 December. escorting ''Bantam'' arrived with reinforcements on 12 January 1942, remaining through raids on the 15—16th until the 18th.
