dMAC Digest Volume 6 No 1: Djakarta Journal # 2

The recorded history of Indonesia dates back over two thousand years. This is the 2nd journal, covering events from the British invasion of Batavia in 1811 CE, up to the granting of Indonesian Independence in 1949. We look at the impact of some the larger than life players who dominated in this fascinating period, who were; involved in the European discovery of Borobudur; the take-over by the Dutch again; the Diponegoro war; the rise of Nationalism in the 20th century; the Japanese invasion in 1942, and the events leading up to Independence in 1949.
