History of Indonesia
Europeans arrived in Indonesia in the year 1512. Their aim was purely to colonize and impose hegemony upon the Indonesians in order to monopolize their resources.
European Arrival
Francisco Serrao led the Portuguese traders in the country to plunder Indonesia of its valuable trade resources. They aimed to impose hegemony upon sources like cloves, nutmeg and pepper from Maluku. Later on the Dutch and British traders also came to Indonesia in order to get their share of the profit during the colonialist regime of the Europeans. In the year 1602 the Dutch had successfully established the Dutch East India Company.
Japanese Invasion
The Japanese invasion during the World War II abrogated Dutch rule. The Dutch East Indies campaign was a defence tactic used by Indonesia by allied forces against the Japanese invasion. Since, the colony of Indonesia was naturally endowed with abundant resources it became the target site of the Japanese who wished to establish colonial rule in Indonesia. Indonesia was rich in resources like rubber and oil.New Order
In the year 1945, Sukarno was established as the founding President of Indonesia and he declared the freedom of Indonesia from its colonial struggle. In 1965 an attempted coup led a violent anti communist protest which resulted in the killing of 500,000 people. General Suharto was formally appointed as the President of Indonesia on March 1968 as the former President Sukarno proved to be politically weak and indecisive. Suharto displayed great leadership skills but shifted from the idea of democracy to authoritarianism. In the year 1998 Indonesia was struck by the Asian Financial Crisis and he lost power.Our Indonesia Wireless Guide has been developed for WAP enabled Smartphones such as the latest Nokia, Sony, Samsung & Motorola devices.
