Unit 5: Colonialism and the Development of Nationalism in South-East Asia, 1750-1914

This section focuses on the impact of European and American imperialism and colonialism upon the indigenous societies and political systems of South-East Asia. It analyses the reasons for expansion into this area and the nature and effects of colonization. Similarities and differences between colonial systems and the responses of the colonized peoples to the colonizers should be assessed, along with the factors that led to the beginnings of nationalism. The section concludes by assessing the extent to which these countries had developed a national identity by the outbreak of the First World War.

Beginnings of Nationalism: Effects (National Identity by 1914?)

Use the “notes on Indonesia for students” at the top of this section to help you. Also look at these 2 sites:
http://sejarahmodern.weebly.com/impact-of-the-russian-revolution-the-birth-of-indonesian-communism.html
 
http://sejarahmodern.weebly.com/development-of-nationalism-amongst-elite-groups.html
 
Look up groups mentioned in the school’s Britannica Database too.
 

 
In pairs or 3s, create a “tension” graph with years and events on it to sum up Dutch colonial system political, social, cultural effects. A tension graph is a line graph which shows years and events on the axes, and it allows you to chart the rising/ falling of tension in a situation. Sum up this Indonesian section overall, using all you have learnt, including the graph.

5. Summing up and consolidating

Now we have looked at all aspects of this period, here is a documentary that provides an overview of the areas in which we are particularly interested: the VOC, the Culture System (1830-70), the Liberal Policy (1870-1900) and the Ethical Policy (1901-1930-ish) and the rise of Nationalism.

This is a Dutch Documentary called the "Dutch East Indies 1602-1949 Part II". Watch it using the accompanying worksheet which provides prompts for you to make notes about as you go. It uses subtitles rather than narration to convey its information. The youtube link is on the worksheet if you need it.
