Impact of the Japanese Educational System on the Rise of Proclamation August 17, 1945

Abstract

This research aims to describe what had been done by youth especially the students to achieve the independence of Indonesia during the Japanese occupation. During the Japanese occupation, the Japanese military government had full power to organize in almost every sector such as social, government, military, economy, and education. Moreover, since Japan came to Indonesia to run the education system, schools have been provided regardless of national group, race, ancestry, which is why a sense of the same fate has arisen that has led to a strong sense of unity, and then a spirit of nationalism has arisen between them, and a desire to escape Japanese colonialism has also arisen.
