How could the fall of Singapore have been prevented?
The fall of Singapore could have been prevented in many ways, but in my opinion if the British had not been so complacent they may have been able to prevent Singapore from falling to the Japanese. Many of the British soldiers took the Japanese lightly. They did not think that they would be able to capture Singapore as they regarded it as an impregnable fortress. In addition, it could have also been prevented if the British had more and better aircrafts. The British only had 158 aircrafts. which were already obsolete, when the Japanese started their invasion. By contrast, the Japanese severely outnumbered them and had more advanced fighter planes. This caused the British to easily lose control of the skies, helping the Japanese.
