The MALAYAN EMERGENCY & BORNEO CONFRONTATION
Created By Bill Ashby Over a month ago
The fight to found Malaysia
The fight to found Malaysia
Two successful jungle campaigns that were fought by Commonwealth Forces against insurgents,
The Malayan Emergency (1948 - 1960) against Chinese Communists and The Borneo Confrontation (1962–1966) against Indonesia’s political and armed opposition to the creation of Malaysia.
In 1961 British troops put down a revolt in Brunei and release captured Shell workers.
The success of these campaigns laid the path to the founding of Malaysia.
