Reasons for Japanese victory of the batltle in Singpore and Malaya

Good Japanese preparations

took pictures of roads, railways and military installations

conducted surveys of the Malayan coastal areas

observed the construction of the Singapore Naval Base and coastal defenses.

Set up intelligence services in Malaya and Singapore to provide information on British defense and readiness.

Japanese superiority in battle strategy, armed forces and leadership

Better tactics – use of bicycles as a means of transport in Malaya instead of tanks.

Better trained in Jungle warfare

Japanese had a large modern airforce and naval fleet – ‘Zero’ fighter planes destroyed half of British planes, which were old and outdated.

British underestimated the Japanese

British priority to war in Europe

The British were also faced with resource constrains (war supplies, soldiers etc), thus they would rather focus on the War back home.

Malaya and Singapore were only colonies

The British were more concerned in making safe their homeland

SubtoHitler’s Germany is causing a lot of problems in Europe, threatening to invade and conquer England.pic
