World War II and Independence
Singapore fell to Japanese forces in 1942 during the Second World War, an event infamously known as the "Fall of Singapore." Following the war, the path to self-governance began, culminating in a brief, turbulent merger with the Federation of Malaysia between 1963 and 1965. Singapore was expelled from the federation in 1965, an event that necessitated a rapid, forced pivot towards immediate economic self-sufficiency [3].
