REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA

n 1602, the Dutch established the Dutch East India Company (VOC) in Indonesia and became the dominant European power by 1610. The VOC was formally dissolved in 1798, and the government of the Netherlands established the Dutch East Indies under government control.

The Japanese invasion and occupation during WWII ended Dutch rule and encouraged the previously suppressed independence movement. After the surrender of Japan in 1945, Sukarno, influential nationalist leader, proclaimed Indonesian independence and was appointed president.
