✠ The Dutch East Indies campaign of 1941–1942 was the conquest of the Dutch East Indies (present-day Indonesia) by forces from the Empire of Japan in the early days of the Pacific campaign of World War II. Forces from the Allies attempted unsuccessfully to defend the islands. The East Indies were targeted by the Japanese for their rich oil resources which would become a vital asset during the war. The campaign and subsequent three and a half year Japanese occupation was also a major factor in the end of Dutch colonial rule in the region.

By February, Japanese forces had landed on Sumatra and encouraged a revolt in Aceh.Most of the naval components of the allied force were crushed in the battles of Java Sea, Sunda Strait and Second Java Sea; the only American ship larger than a destroyer to survive the battles was the old cruiser Marblehead. In addition, the land forces on the islands were quickly overwhelmed and most major resistance was overcome within two months of the initial assaults, although a guerrilla campaign in Timor was successfully waged for a time.The ABDA command was dissolved at about 01:00 on 1 March, less than two months after its inception, by Admiral Conrad Emil Lambert Helfrich. ✠

Lyrics:

わが大君に　召されたる
生命光栄(はえ)ある　朝ぼらけ
讃えて送る　一億の
歓呼は高く　天を衝く
いざ征(ゆ)け　つわもの
日本男児!

華と咲く身の　感激を
戎衣(じゅうい)の胸に　引き緊めて
正義の軍(いくさ)　征くところ
たれか阻(はば)まん　その歩武(ほぶ)を
いざ征け　つわもの
日本男児!

かがやく御旗(みはた)　先立て
越ゆる勝利の　幾山河
無敵日本の　武勲(いさおし)を
世界に示す　ときぞ今
いざ征け　つわもの
日本男児!

守る銃後に　憂なし
大和魂　ゆるぎなき
國のかために　人の和に
大磐石(だいばんじゃく)の　この備え
いざ征け　つわもの
日本男児!

ああ万世の　大君に
水漬(みず)き草むす　忠烈の
誓致さん　秋至(ときいた)る
勇ましいかな　この首途(かどで)
いざ征け　つわもの
日本男児!

父祖の血汐に　色映ゆる
国の誉れの　日の丸を
世紀の空に　燦然と
揚げて築けや　新亞細亞
いざ征け　つわもの
日本男児!
