No but they fought for a status quo that allowed the Europeans to continue to do this.

Even after WW2 the US didn't do anything about the French in Indochina or the Brits and Dutch in Indonesia, Malaysia. They handed it right back to them.

If the Japanese hadn't made such a dent in the European powers hold on Asia and the pacific then resistance movements in Vietnam (against the French), Malaysia and Indonesia which eventually lead to their liberation might not have been possible.
