During World War II, Japanese controlled much of Southeast Asia from European

nations. When the Japanese ruled the area, it showed them that Europeans were far from

invincible. When the war ended, the Japanese left Southeast Asia. Europeans then wanted

the land back. But many of the people of Southeast Asia did not want to live under the

Europeans any longer. Southeast Asia eventually won independence and new nations

were formed.
