Indonesia was a Dutch colony from the 17th century until the mid-20th century. The Dutch East India Company (VOC) began trading in the region in the early 17th century and gradually established control over much of the archipelago. Indonesia declared independence from the Netherlands in 1945 after years of struggle, launching a four-year war that ended with Dutch recognition of Indonesia's sovereignty in 1949.
