Essay argues Dutch administration improved life for Indonesians compared with native rulers and other colonial powers. It notes Java’s population above 45 million supported by a vast irrigation system funded by Dutch capital, and describes a rise of an incipient independence movement around 1900 that gained momentum during Japanese occupation.
