Brief History of Indonesia
Indonesia's history is marked by a succession of influential eras. Early Austronesian-speaking peoples settled the archipelago around 2000 BCE, laying cultural foundations. By the first century CE, Indonesia established trade links with India and China, leading to the rise of Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms like Srivijaya and Majapahit.
The spread of Islam in the 13th century reshaped societal structures and led to the establishment of sultanates. European colonial powers arrived in the 16th century, with the Dutch eventually asserting dominance through the Dutch East India Company and later, direct colonial rule.
The 20th century witnessed nationalist movements challenging colonial rule. Japanese occupation during World War II further fueled independence aspirations. Indonesia declared independence on August 17, 1945, under Sukarno’s leadership.
Post-independence, Indonesia navigated political instability, including the 1965 coup and the subsequent authoritarian rule of Suharto. The nation transitioned to democracy following Suharto's resignation in 1998. Today, Indonesia stands as the world's largest archipelagic state and the most populous Muslim-majority country.
