    Indonesia has declare independence in 1945 but the Dutch coming attack and then Dutch surrender in 1949.. so in the Dutch perspective Indonesia's independence is 1949 but for Indonesian is 1945.

That should explain why neither English or Dutch become first language in Indonesia and I find that cool as hell.

    This is basically how it’s seen from the Dutch’s point of view, Indonesia has its own version. Thank you for the effort, but you’ve made some mistakes, including mistaking Suharto for Sukarno, and calling Sukarno ‘Achmed Sukarno’ which was never his name.
    Sukarno was just Sukarno, he didn’t have the usual Western ‘first name-family name’ naming pattern. He was born Kusno Sosrodiharjo, son of Raden Sukemi Sosrodiharjo and Ida Ayu Nyoman Rai, but he never did use his father’s surname of Sosrodiharjo and went by a single name, Sukarno.

    • @spacetator69
      @spacetator69 Рік тому +41

      "Achmed Sukarno" is never his name indeed. But he used it when it comes to international delegacy, let's say it's for the purpose on his pasport. Since I doubt people use single name at those times.
      As for his name, indeed his birth name is Kusno Sorodiharjo. But there's story when he still young, he often get sick. Thus his father changed his name to "Soekarno" since birth certificate isn't a thing way back then. "Soe" means good, while there's several interpretation behind the meaning of "Karno".

    • @kilanspeaks
      @kilanspeaks Рік тому +58

      @@spacetator69 he never used the name ‘Achmed’ as such. Whenever asked whether ‘Achmed’ was his name, he pointed out that the only name he had was the name given to him by his parents, Sukarno. But he didn’t mind it either, as the name أحمد has a good meaning in Arabic (‘praised’).
      As for the origin of the name ‘Achmed’ we don’t know for sure, but the most popular theory that it came from Indonesian students in Egypt. According to historian Rushdie Hoesein, Indonesian students actively campaigned for Indonesia’s independence within the years 1946-1947 using Islam as the main sentiment to gain Egyptian support. When asked whether the president was a Muslim, a prominent student from Indonesia named Zein Hasan claimed that the president’s name was Ahmad Soekarno to prove that he was indeed a Muslim.
      That was how he was known as Ahmad Soekarno in Middle Eastern countries. The theory was, the Western media picked it up from there, and as they’re not used to the idea of having a single name, they happily accepted it as the truth. The name ‘Achmed’ is specifically popular in German and Dutch where it fits their orthography.
      Birth certificate has always been a thing even since colonial time, known as ‘geboorteakte’ then. Going by only one single name is normal in Indonesia, it’s not until recently that the government changed the regulation for passports to have at least two names on them. सु- (su-) indeed means ‘good’ or ‘pure’ while ‘कर्ण (karna) is a character from Mahabharata, his name bears the meaning of ‘ear’ in Sanskrit. In common Javanese dialect ‘karna’ becomes ‘karnå’ but transliterated as ‘karno’ due to limitation in standard Latin alphabet.
      Hence ‘Sukarno’ means ‘good Karna’ (Karna was loyal to the antagonistic Kauravas in Mahabharata) or ‘good ear’ or maybe a ‘good listener’ if that sounds better.

    One of critical reasons why the US retreaded its support for the netherland was because the republic although crushed, in fact it was not completely eradicated, and by that period many republican leaders who tended toward the left started to seek armed support from the soviet and china. Now imagine what would happen if a spark that the netherland failed to extinguish, was instead refuled by the east bloc. Indonesia will become the first pandemonium of the 3th WW. Especially when the netherland stubbornly tried to hold new guinea. You can see how seriously indonesian was in matters regarding their independece, adding fact that soviet was also known to generously shares their nukes like they are sharing som kind of biscuits to their allies

    That's the western version of Indonesia especially from dutch perspective.
    In Indonesian perspective, the discussion of united Indonesia already started in 1928, as Indonesian called as youth pledge where many scholar from different part of dutch-indies make a convention
    The japan and dutch military aggression basically the same
    But one element that completely cut off from that story is the Indonesian diplomacy that convince many kingdoms in java, Sumatra, birneo, bali, sulawesi, etc to united under one flag which is Indonesia
    They support indonesian independence movement by donating their gold and money, giving their army and also their land even authority as a king to join Indonesia

    You should emphasize that Soekarno was basically forced to declare independence by the young revolutionaries. They literally kidnap him and Hatta(who soon to be the forst vice president ) and pressure them to proclaim independence at 17th of August. Soekarno was notoriously known as japanese collaborator. And he initially wanted to delay the proclamation to avoid Japan's harsh reaction. While the young revolutionaries convinced that it needs to be done ASAP after japans surrender to the allies.

    Belanda melihat Indonesia sebagai Budak yg memberontak pada kehendak Tuannya maka, aksi militer Belanda selama 1945-1949 dinamakan aksi polisionil/penegakan hukum dan ketertiban. Banyak Anak Muda Belanda yg gabung Militer Belanda untuk dikirim ke Hindia Belanda karena termakan omongan/propaganda bahwa Hindia Belanda dijalankan/dibajak oleh sekelompok Teroris Pengacau. Hasilnya begitu mulai banyak informasi mengalir dari Hindia Belanda dan Internasional tentang kelakuan Militer Belanda di Hindia Belanda justru Rakyat Belanda sendiri yang menolak aksi polisionil Belanda. Indonesia tidak merdeka dengan santai dan diberi cuma-cuma oleh Belanda. Indonesia berjuang dengan apapun yg Kami punya. Sudah biasa ada cerita kalo Tentara Pelajar dan TRI bertempur dengan 1 senapan untuk 5 orang dengan 4 orang lainnya bawa arit, golok, atau bambu runcing. Semangat Merdeka Rakyat Indonesia kala itu sudah jauh dari akal para Militer Belanda sehingga di Lapangan para Militer Belanda bisa paham bahwa aksi Mereka ternyata memang sebagai bentuk Penjajahan.

In which, contradictively opposite with stories I learned in history class in school, and contitutionally we have 17th of August 1945 as our Independence Day.
    We are now celebrating the 78th years of Independence.
    Despite the debate on which year that actually Indonesia is independent, I just want to correct some of the picture and graphic used in the video are irrelevant:
    1. The picture of Soekarno and Royal Dutch Family is actually Soeharto (the 2nd President of Indonesia);
    2. The map of Indonesia, during those timelines (between 1927 and 1949), Timor Leste is in the territory of Indonesia, just like West Papua, although they were colonialised by the Portugese until 1975 and officially become Indonesia's in 1976. They gain their independence in 2002.

    Indonesians took their Independence chance after USA dropped bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as it weakened Japan's Army in Indonesia after they took it from Dutch.
    After the Allied won the war, Dutch came back and annulled the Independence of Indonesia. Indonesians tried to fight back the Dutch through diplomacy. After years and years finally Dutch recognized the Independence of Indonesia.

    - 1811 - British occupied Indonesia by force from Netherland, end by British got Malaca, the Malaysia, Indonesia was still by the hand of Netherland and some to Portuguese.
    - 1945 - Indonesia gained independent from Japan, not Netherland, it was when Hiroshima(Aug 6) and Nagasaki(Aug 9) got bombed. Netherland couldn't occupy Indonesia at that time cz war with Germany
    - 1945,1946 - British army came to Indonesia to take control of the situation but in actuality they came with Netherland army and wanted to occupy Indonesia and it soon cause war again.
    Nederlands-Indonesische rondetafelconferentie was the negotiation name that finally make Netherland back down. (There's 1 last thing after that, war for West New Guinea, end in 1969).

It was for compensation of the cost that the Dutch spent in waging war against Indonesia from 1945-1949 appx 4.5 Billion Dutch Gulden. We managed to pay it fully in 2003.

      due to this we don't hate japan because dutch-east indies is dutch republic of asia not malay republic so it is netherland-japan problem/war not us and it already done with philip-sony relationship, while the netherland left us with communist republic and no international relationship but none-sense discrimination about little things like humanitarian issue that mostly misunderstood and some shit, even tho netherland should be the one who introduce us to the world.
