The Indonesian War of Independence (1945-1949) was a pivotal struggle against Dutch colonial rule, marked by fierce battles and significant sacrifices. Leaders like Sukarno and Hatta emerged as symbols of resistance, declaring independence on August 17, 1945. Despite initial Dutch refusal to recognize this, international pressure grew, leading to negotiations and eventual recognition of Indonesia's sovereignty on December 27, 1949. This conflict shaped Indonesia's national identity and democratic foundations.
