Indonesia gained its independence from the Dutch, who had colonized the country for over 300 years. The declaration of independence was made on August 17, 1945, just two weeks after Japan surrendered and ended its occupation of Indonesia during World War II. The Netherlands initially refused to recognize Indonesia's independence, leading to a conflict known as the Indonesian National Revolution that lasted from 1945 to 1949.
