NATIONALISM - people's sense of belonging together as a nation- loyalty to the nation, pride in its culture and history - a desire for national independence - movement in which the nation-state is regarded as paramount for the realization of social, economic and cultural aspirations of people I. CAUSES FOR THE RISE OF NATIONALISM IN INDONESIA - the Indonesians seeked for unity in their country to fight the colonizers (Dutch) that are getting their natural products to improve their own economy - the Indonesians didn't like the Dutch to have a better economy than they do - the Indonesians also thought that there might be a possibility that the Dutch will conquer their lands so they formed groups that are against them - the Dutch penetrated the Javanese society more deeply and they expanded their control to other regions - the Dutch annexed large areas of central Java and enforced the "Culture System" on the Indonesians which was very unfair to the peasants who had to devote 1/5 of their land for the government's use - unjust treatment of Dutch to the Indonesians regarding trading, economic and political rights - through direct force and alliances with native leaders, the Dutch governor-gener
- The summer of 1945, with impending defeat in sight, the Japanese tried to make a gift of independence to the Indonesians, But Sukarno's government did not want it as a gift from the Japanese. - In the mid-19th century Dutch liberals campaigned against the Culture System, and by the 1870s some of the system's harshest aspects were removed. The new Liberal Policy gave farmers more freedom to grow crops they wanted. - The Dutch annexed large areas of central Java and in 1830 introduced the Culture System, under which peasants had to devote part of their land (one fifth or more) to cultivating government-designated export crops instead of rice. Extremely profitable for the Dutch, the system was blamed for widespread famine in parts of Java in the 1840's and 1850's. - During the Japanese occupation he was permitted to promote Indonesian nationalist aims in return for mobilizing support for the Japanese war effort - He compelled the Dutch to cede West Irian and proclaimed a "confrontation" with the newly formed Federation of Malaysia in 1963. He took Indonesia out of the United Nations in 1965 - An attempted coup led to Sukarno's downfall. He acted indecisively in its after math, he could prevent neither the mass killings that followed nor the elimination of the Communist party. The army leader General Suharto forced Sukarno to delegate effective power to him in March 1970 - Indonesian nationalism had, at last, fully triumphed over an obstinate colonialism
