The Indonesian people went through battle
after battle not only when they fought for
independence, but also after the proclamation
of August 17, 1945. The Dutch colonialists
tried to regain control of Indonesia through
various means, one of which was Dutch
Military Aggression 1 . This aggression was led
by Lieutenant Governor General Johannes
van Mook from 21 July to 5 August 1947. The
main objective was that the Dutch wanted to
reclaim areas in Java and Sumatra which had
plantations and were rich in natural resources,
especially oil.
This Dutch military operation violated the Linggarjati
agreement which recognized the de facto territory of
the Republic of Indonesia, namely Java, Sumatra and
Madura. The Dutch Military Aggression I started
with the entry of Allied troops into Indonesian
territory via Sabang, Aceh on August 23, 1945.
Joining the group, NICA (Netherlands Indies Civil
Administration) or the Civil Government of the Dutch
East Indies led by van Mook who carried the mission
of carrying out Queen Wilhelmina's speech regarding
the concept of statehood in Indonesia. The speech
delivered on December 6, 1942 via radio broadcast
stated that in the future a commonwealth would be
formed between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and
the Indies (Indonesia) under the auspices of the
Kingdom of the Netherlands.

What happened in chronological order
 January 1, 1949
In the process, the Linggarjati negotiations were
held between the Dutch, represented by van Mook
and from the Indonesian side, Soetan Sjahrir,
Mohammad Roem, Susanto Tirtoprojo, and AK
Gani. The negotiations resulted in 17 agreements,
among which the Netherlands recognized the de
facto territory of the Republic of Indonesia, namely
Java, Sumatra and Madura. The Dutch had to
leave the territory of the Republic of Indonesia no
later than January 1, 1949.
 July 15, 1947
However, the agreement was not
smooth. On July 15, 1947, van Mook
issued an ultimatum for Indonesia to
withdraw its troops 10 km from the
demarcation line. Obviously, the
order was refused.
 July 20, 1947
Van Mook announced over the radio that the Netherlands
was no longer bound by the results of the Linggarjati
Negotiations. Some after, exploded the Dutch Military
Aggression 1. Dutch troops simultaneously launched
attacks on areas controlled by Indonesia, but the focus was
on Sumatra, Central Java and East Java. The main targets
of this attack were tobacco plantations in East Sumatra, the
north coast of Java in Central Java, and sugar cane
plantations and sugar factories in East Java .
 July 31, 1947
However, it is different from Indonesia, which considers this
operation a violation of the results of the Linggarjati negotiations.
Therefore, the Indonesian government officially reported the
Dutch military aggression to the United Nations (UN). At the
request of India and Australia, on July 31, 1947, this Dutch
Military Aggression was included in the agenda of the UN Security
Council. A day later, the United Nations issued a resolution
containing an order for the armed conflict to stop immediately.
The United Nations recognizes the existence of Indonesia by
mentioning the name of Indonesia, not the Netherland Indies or
the Dutch East Indies in every official decision.

Under pressure from the United Nations, on
August 15, 1947, the Dutch Government finally
accepted the Security Council resolution by
stopping the fighting. Two days later the
Governments of the Netherlands and Indonesia
agreed to a ceasefire. However, this peaceful
situation did not last long. The Netherlands again
broke its promise by intensifying a larger military
operation, known as the Dutch Military Aggression
II.

Conclusions of the experience
 What we can learn is that when we see
others’ property, we shouldn’t try to gain and
control because it is not our right and our
rights and do what we want. When we
promise or enter a covenant, we must not
denied because of it as a form of respect to
others.
