Malaysia (Abnormal)

On 17 August 1945, two days after the surrender of Japan, Sukarno, Mohammad Hatta, and Ibrahim Yaacob declared the independence of the Malay Union. The British and Dutch were shocked, and moved to retake control of British Malaya, Borneo, Brunei, and the Dutch East Indies. They immediately declared war on the new Malay Union.

Four years later, on 27 December 1949, the Malay Union was recognised by the British and Dutch, and subsequently joined the UN.
