Much less incapable than you'd think. Remember, unless the colony was occupied for a long period of time during WWII otl, it remained fairly governable afterwards.

Be an affront to their sovereignty to agree to such a thing, really.

Occupying troops, depends. Keeping an eye on the area until the owning nation can send troops is on thing, anything else is different entirely.

The Brits went in to oversee the Japanese surrender - that was all. This they did. They left within a couple months of the end of the war.

Had Indonesia not been occupied, or been occupied for less time, the Dutch would have been able to get control over the islands again. As it stood otl, actually, were it not for international pressure, they'd have managed it otl too.

Such a revolt would be easy to put down, imo. An Indonesian situation like that isn't workable.

Congo easy by comparison to control.
