The Battle of Tarakan took place on 11–12 January 1942, a day after the Empire of Japan declared war on the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Although Tarakan was only a small marshy island off northeastern Borneo (now divided between Indonesia's Kalimantan and Malaysia's East Malaysia) in the Netherlands East Indies (today's Indonesia), its 700 oil wells, refineries, and airfield made it a crucial objective for Japan in the Pacific War.

(de) The Battle of Tarakan took place on 11–12 January 1942, a day after the Empire of Japan declared war on the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Although Tarakan was only a small marshy island off northeastern Borneo (now divided between Indonesia's Kalimantan and Malaysia's East Malaysia) in the Netherlands East Indies (today's Indonesia), its 700 oil wells, refineries, and airfield made it a crucial objective for Japan in the Pacific War. (en) La bataille de Tarakan est une bataille de la campagne du Pacifique pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Elle s'est déroulée du 11 au 12 janvier 1942 à Tarakan, le lendemain de la déclaration de guerre de l'Empire du Japon au Royaume des Pays-Bas. Située au nord-est de Bornéo, aux Indes orientales néerlandaises, l'île de Terakan, bien que petite et marécageuse, disposait de 700 puits de pétrole, d'une raffinerie et d'un aérodrome, en faisant un objectif crucial pour le Japon pendant la guerre du Pacifique. (fr) La batalla de Tarakan fue un enfrentamiento bélico que tuvo lugar en la Isla de Tarakan (actualmente Indonesia) entre el 11 y 12 de enero de 1942 durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, comenzando el día después que el Imperio del Japón le declarase la guerra al Reino de los Países Bajos. Pese a que la Isla de Tarakan era una pequeña isla pantanosa cerca de la costa noreste de Borneo en las Indias Orientales Neerlandesas, los 700 pozos petroleros, la refinería y la pista de aterrizaje de la isla se convirtieron en objetivos claves del Ejército Imperial Japonés durante la Guerra del Pacífico. (es) Pertempuran Tarakan terjadi pada tanggal 11-12 Januari 1942, sehari setelah Kekaisaran Jepang mendeklarasikan perang terhadap Kerajaan Belanda. Meskipun Tarakan hanya sebuah pulau berawa kecil di sebelah timur laut Borneo (sekarang dibagi antara Kalimantan, Indonesia dan Malaysia Timur, Malaysia) di Hindia Belanda (sekarang Indonesia), fasilitas 700 sumur minyak, kilang, dan pangkalan udara (Lanud) nya menjadikan pulau ini salah satu tujuan penting bagi Jepang dalam Perang Pasifik. (in) Сражение за остров Таракан произошло 11-12 января 1942 года. Таракан был небольшим болотистым островком северо-восточнее острова Борнео (в настоящее время остров Калимантан), но на нём находилось около 700 нефтяных скважин, нефтеперегонный завод и взлетно-посадочное поле. Нападение было произведено внезапно. Япония только за день до этого объявила войну Королевству Нидерланды. Впоследствии это сражение было названо «Индонезийским Перл-Харбором». (ru) La battaglia di Tarakan avvenne l'11 e il 12 gennaio 1942 sull'omonima isola dinanzi alle coste nord-orientali del Borneo, tra una forza d'invasione giapponese e la guarnigione olandese. Tarakan, parte della colonia delle Indie orientali olandesi, è un'isola ricca di giacimenti petroliferi che figuravano nei principali obiettivi strategici dei piani d'espansione dell'Impero giapponese, approvati verso la fine del 1941. Per conquistare Tarakan e altre località del Borneo orientale fu radunata una forza di spedizione mista (truppe dell'Esercito e della Marina) e una flotta d'appoggio per lo più di cacciatorpediniere. I giapponesi sbarcarono all'inizio dell'11 gennaio, numericamente superiori e meglio organizzati rispetto alla guarnigione olandese; dopo sparsi combattimenti nella giungla gli (it) Bitwa o Tarakan – bitwa stoczona w dniach 11–12 stycznia 1942 roku pomiędzy wojskami holenderskimi a japońskimi na wyspie Tarakan podczas kampanii w Holenderskich Indiach Wschodnich w czasie wojny na Pacyfiku.
