Dutch government - in - exile The Dutch government in exile was the government of the Netherlands , headed by Queen Wilhelmina , that evacuated to London after the German invasion of the country at the outset of World War II . Prior to 1940 , the Netherlands was a neutral country , generally on good terms with Germany . In May 1940 Queen Wilhelmina escaped to London ; the Dutch government under Prime Minister De Geer would follow a day later , after the German invasion . The government was established at Stratton House in the Piccadilly area of London , opposite Green Park . Initially their hope was that France would regroup and liberate the country . Although there was an attempt in this direction , it soon failed , because the Allied forces were surrounded and forced to evacuate at Dunkirk . The government in exile was soon faced with a dilemma . After France had been defeated , the Germans had installed the Vichy French government , which collaborated with Hitler . This led to a conflict between De Geer and the Queen . De Geer wanted to return to the Netherlands and collaborate as well . The government in exile was still in control of the Dutch East Indies with all its resources : it was the third largest oil producer at the time ( after the US and the USSR ) . Wilhelmina realised that if the Dutch collaborated with Germany , the Dutch East Indies would be surrendered to Japan , as French Indochina was surrendered later by orders of the Vichy government . Because the Netherlands ' hope for liberation was now the entry of the US or the USSR into the war , the Queen dismissed her prime minister and replaced him with Pieter Sjoerds Gerbrandy , who worked with Churchill and Roosevelt on ways to smooth the path for an American entry . Aruba together with Curaçao the then world - class exporting oil refineries were the main suppliers of refined products to the Allies . Aruba became a British protectorate from 1940 to 1942 and a US protectorate from 1942 to 1945 . On November 23 , 1941 , under an agreement with the Netherlands government - in - exile , the United States occupied Dutch Guiana to protect the bauxite mines . An oil boycott was imposed on Japan , which helped to spark the Pearl Harbor attack . The Queen ' s unusual action was later ratified by the Dutch parliament in 1946 . Churchill called her " the only man in the Dutch government " .
