A friend of mine went on a trip to Indonesia last year and even though Indonesia doesn't speak Dutch, you can still see its influence on the language as there are many loanwords that come from Dutch, like handuk, asbak, polisi and stopkontakt! On the Dutch side Indonesian food is some of the most popular food in the Netherlands!

In Indonesia, the way the Dutch made the Nusantaran people fight each other is called 'Adu Domba', literally meaning "Sheep fight". The kingdoms back then are always embroiled in their own struggles, they failed to see the Dutch controlling them for their own interests.

This may not be relevant here, but one of the reason the Dutch didn't interfere in the religion of the Indonesians i.e Islam, is because of their alliance with the Turks who both shared antagonism towards Catholics. The phrase Liever Turks dan Paaps ("Rather a Turk than a Papist") was a Dutch slogan during the Dutch Revolt of the end of the 16th century.

as an indo, i want to add that the true reason those dutchies sequoias colonized us is because we have cool mountains, something that's non-existent in their low altitude habitat, that is the netherlands. they're also great waterbenders so that kinda helps their quest in our country, which is broken ngl

It is astounding how the Dutch were able to maintain a colony so far away from their homeland, and so much larger than them geographically and in population. Even for a modern army against natives, that’s nothing to scoff at.
515
Indonesia back then was consist of independent kingdoms fighting each other for power and domination. The European, especially the Dutch, just take advantage of their rivalry by assisting one kingdom destroy their enemy then turned against them later. Repeat, and profit.

Super Informative. Mixed feelings watching this as a fellow ASEAN/Nusantara Singaporean. Plenty of suffering, and then unity from the ashes of that suffering. Well, the past is the past. We look to the future now. Lots more blessings, health and prosperity for our Indonesian sisters and brothers 😇 Looking forward to more Indonesian videos, thanks K&G!

Too often popular imagination tells us that Europe conquered the world through sheer military might when in reality colonial ventures owe their success to prudent diplomacy that makes use of pre-existing rivalries between existing nations while the same nations in turn used the Europeans as an instrument against their rivals and in many cases a key pillar of their power

Excellent video about our nation history! One small note, Sultan Agung use the title "Sultan" near the end of his rule, he mainly use the Javanese title Panembahan. He asked the Sharif of Mecca for the title of Sultan, because the ruler of Banten use that title and Panembahan Hanyakrakusuma (who claim the lordship of Java) think he's the one ruler who deserve it. Banten however, maintain the last local "Intercontinental tradefleet". Also, Mataram numerous Civil War is much more chaotic than the Game of Thrones story, in case you want to cover it.

Fun fact, there are so many "sacred" 18th century cannons in Indonesia that people said the weapons was possessed by the spirit of the ancestors. It is so sacred that some people even refuse to touch the cannons or even look at it. Tracing back to history, it is said that the "mystical" sacredness of such cannons, were made by the Dutch. To prevent any local rebellions who use gunpowder based weaponry. So after the fall/subjugations of major kingdoms in Nusantara. Many local rebellions only uses farming equipment or homemade melee weapons. This is why even in our history lesson back in the schools, they told us that local kingdoms are primitive compared to the European gunnery. The Sultan Agung offensive to Sunda Kelapa or Jakarta in the present day. Already equipped his soldiers with guns and cannons. Demak Sultanate naval offensive to the Portuguese in Malaka. Also utilized a huge Junk ship, that dwarves Portuguese ships at that time. But still, after a chain of defeats and local rivalries. European gunneries are far exceeding the local traditional technology.

I would also like to say, I really appreciate the work you guys put into the videos, very very appealing to watch while gaining such well expressed knowledge. Thank you very much for your work🙏🙏🙏

Not to forget : the hundreds of thousands of Balines who were slaughtered by the Dutch, completely devastating the once culturally important Bali kingdoms, and impoverishing them

Ah yes, after years of waiting, you guys finally covered the Dutch Colonization of Indonesia, which few westerner know about! Thank you very much for covering our history .

As an Indonesian who knows its history, I fully agree 100% with the content of this video. The Dutch strategy to control Nusantara is through "Divide et Impera" (Latin for "divide and rule"). It happened since the VOC time.

Vasco Da Gama landing on the west coast of India started this whole colonization game in Asia which is exactly what Columbus wanted to do and reach India but ended up in America while Gama succeeded. As of today, India still remains the number 1 producer and exporter of spices in the world maintaining its ancient historical position.

The Dutch have been colonizing Indonesia for 350 years. He killed and tortured local people who did not submit to him, stole spices, was forcibly hired and other crimes. Grateful now that Indonesia is independent and now the Indonesian state has become more resilient from it .

awesome video. I'm always interested in knowing more about Nusantara; ever since I saw the islands in the world map as a teenager and had no idea of what was there.

Thank you for this short yet comprehensive narrative of the Indonesian history.
1
This video would serve greatly in the classroom of Indonesian students. Growing up, I lack the detail offered by this video. For example, the explanation of V.O.C. downfall is only or even solely attributed to internal company corruption. Which set the tone to justify today's rampant corruption in Indonesia. I hope you give Indonesia's nation building history justice in future video. Yes, the V.O.C. and Netherlands unite these various Nusantara Kingdoms under the Dutch East Indies. But even then, the notion that all "native" people in the Dutch East Indies are of one nation is due to the effort of many Indonesian scholars and powerful figures of that era. They did conferences, used mails, newspapers, and radios, all to create a sense of unity as a nation. I put native in parenthesis because there's still debate on whether Chinese-descendants and Papuans are part of that Indonesian nation building. Personally, I think they are, and some have rediscover for example the role of Chinese-Indonesians had in several of the rebellion or war against Dutch. There was also a massacre in Batavia aimed at Chinese-Indonesians. I hope your research will do you justice to expose these facts.

Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍

God damnit K&G i am 11th grade and this is our first history subject my class is currently studying thank you so much

Thank you for your efforts! This is very engaging and informative. Would you also be able to launch a series on Chinese history as well, with focus on the pre-classical periods and the early imperial periods? A rendition by yourselves is sure to be something very enjoyable and educational as well.

Thank you so much on doing a video on my country! I'm a massive fan of you guys, so this is a match made in heaven for me! Do you think you could ever do a video on The Netherlands during more medevial times? The Netherlands has a very interesting history!

At the begining, VOC hegemoni trough the island done by three person (triplet) Speelman (Governor after JP Coen), Arung Palaka (Bone King) and Jongker (an ambonese king maybe from saparua), this three people subdue many kingdom in the island with force.
15
Thanks!
I'm definitely on board for more videos on Indonesian history! It's on pace to become an economic juggernaut in the next few decades, so definitely a country we in the West need to become better acquainted with. It's just a fascinating place, anyway, a country made up of thousands of tropical islands, a Muslim state in mainly Hindu or Buddhist southeast Asia. It's very unique.

So basically Dutch created foundation for Indonesia, before Dutch, Indonesia was divided into little island tribal states had no identity called Indonesia.

Well, Indonesia might be gigantic in size, but it was also pretty disconnected at that time, it's a gigantic archipelago afterall.

At 20:31. Well, the spice craze in Europe didn’t “come and go.” The VOC’s spice monopoly collapsed because, alas, tropical plants can grow in other tropical places. So throughout the late 1600s and 1700s, crafty British and French traders smuggled out spice plants from these VOC-owned islands. Suddenly nutmeg was being grown in British and French Caribbean colonies, along with pepper, cloves and cinnamon. Even Indian Ocean islands like Mauritius and Sri Lanka became home to large spice plantations owned by the British and French. These new sources of spices produced so many spices that by 1750 the price of spices sold in Europe had collapsed. And with the collapse of spice prices came the bankruptcy of the VOC by 1799.

My oldest known paternal ancestor was a surgeon in the last VOC decade and later a military physician on Ternate (the Molukkas). The fort he was in there got besieged by Sultan Nuku of Tidore in 1801 at which time Nuku was allied with the British. The fort surrendered to the British after a couple of junior officers mutinied (on account of an unmanagble amount of sick and wounded defenders) and imprisoned the Dutch governor. What Nuku seemed to have done was a bit of a "ditto" strategy to what the VOC and the BEIC had been doing, allying with rival powers to expand their empire. In his case, sultan Nuku allied with Britain against the Dutch.

So proud of my country’s history 🇳🇱❤️

The Dutch port of Texel? Texel is an island. There was a location in the sea to the southeast of it where ships would gather prior to leaving for the East. That was called the Reede van Texel.

Fantastic video! The early colonial era and spice trade are rarely covered in such depth and detail.
Thanks for the video & information

Interesting to note that the video is released within the vicinity of Indonesia's Independence Day on 17 August. Would like to see how you may cover the history of the rest of the Nusantara - notably 2 of the nations where this region covers also observe their independence day in the month of August (Singapore on 9 August; Malaysia on 31 August). Also, a belated Happy Independence Day to Sarawak (22 July), and the history of a White Rajah in that region is probably more content for the team.

Thank you for making a video about this topic!

Probably freaked the Indonesians out with how tall they are, them Dutch fellas.

Thanks for this. The VOC is an excellent case study in the behaviour of corporations when completely free of regulation. The span of time involved boggles the mind.
Love this indonesian chapters ❤ thank you

Dutchmen have a unique ability where their power level and aggression skyrockets in the presence of spices, becoming more beast than man. Indonesia never had a chance I’m afraid
22
As an Indonesian, I curse the Dutch colonialism, but I must admit that without Dutch, we would be like The Balkans of South East Asia There is no way you can unite 300+ ethnic groups, 770+ languages & 180+ religious beliefs except common struggle against foreign colonialism
3
In fact, the fact that the Dutch colonized the whole of Indonesia for 300 years seems to be still questionable, because it is actually much more accurate to say that around 250 years more than that they were still trying to control and Colonize this country, It seems that the Dutch only colonized this country for around 145 years (fromVoc's bankrupt) and even then not all of Indonesia was successfully controlled during those hundreds of years, such as the Deli Sultanate, Riau, Buton, Ternate, Tidore, Sumbawa, Kutai, and orthers It was not controlled by the Dutch (source from Zelfbesturen Netherlands-Indie at 1930) Even the Kingdom of Aceh and the Batak kingdom were only defeated in 1907 It took about 30 years for the Dutch to conquer the kingdom.

Always well done
A lesser known fact is that in 1592 Cornelis Corneliszoon combined a crankshaft with a windmill, creating the sawmill. His invention created a small technologic revolution that freed up a lot of labour. The VOC was founded in 1602.

Where the hell did you get that map. And how did you get Romania to cede half of its territory. Including the capital to Bulgaria? Your production value is becoming unintentionally funny at this point

Amazing information as usual, i would advise to spend more time on checking for errors, as in the beginning of the videoyou clearly meant to write "size/area" but wrote "large", as if that single part was badly translated by AI ; P
3
Helle KingsandGenerals, it seems that in the first couple of seconds of the video, the capital of the Netherlands is misplaced. The dot that locates Amsterdam is where Rotterdam would be. Amsterdam is located higher in the country, just underneath that 'inward lake'.

Brilliant. Viewed many other videos and read up on the spices thanks to this masterclass. Brava and kudos.
Finally i was waiting for this❤
Im Indonesian, my grandma said not all Dutch did bad things in Indonesia. Some of them are great and fair people. In my city there is a lot Dutch buildings and palm oil industry made by Dutch. My grand also saved by Dutch doctor when she almost die attacked by a warthog. And also Dutch do not force their believe (Christianity) to natives. In my city the majority are Christian but its not the Dutch who spread it but Germans missionaries who came peacefully.

0:15 those must be the wonkiest borders I have ever seen did the AI draw the map?

I'm glad you mentioned Pulau Run. Even most Dutch prople don't know this was the main trade for Manhattan. Most think it was only about Suriname.

My country Indonesia, formerly known as Dutch East Indies/Dutch Indonesia, was a Dutch colony for over three centuries. The country experienced revolution (by natives) and suppression (by Dutch) numerous times.. [For honest truths, pls read the insightful, multi-pages comment by 'Lonely Alaskan' at, "Complete History Of Indigenous America Before Colonialism/Chronicle", on YouTube (which by the way, got pushed down below 150 other comments lately).

Texel is pronounced "Tessel". The x in Texel is a super archaic Dutch way to write a hard S sound.

What happened to the map at the start? The more I look the worse it gets haha (particularly regarding Europe).

I really appreciate this video..
Thank you for another interesting video. Beyond the Majapahit, I know virtually nothing about the history of the Indonesian archipelago. I look forward to future videos on the region! God be with you out there, everybody. ✝️ :)
Trading Manhattan was easily such a huge move The English lost it in an expensive war anyway, when they were already broke The Dutch swindled the hell out of the Crown in that single deal
4
The Dutch were already more wealthy than the Portuguese and Spanish in the 16th century, before they went on to colonize. Most of the spices the Portuguese took from Asia to Europe ended up in the port of Antwerp. The Dutch were forced to colonize themselves though when the Portuguese were forced by the Spanish to end trade with the Dutch, due to the Eighty Years War
18
something strange with the German Border at the start of this video and so as Romania

Johan van Oldebarneveld, state pensionary, forced the separate trade companies to form one big one. The competition between the separate companies were lowering their potential profits, and thus lowered the taxes collected , that were used to fight the Spanish.

Thank you for covering some of our history again. I think there are a lot of interesting themes and periods in time where the Dutch played a role of significance. Whether in hindsight we are proud of it or not, it is part of the world history. Uncovered topics which border on what i mean include: introducing european trade with Japan, help with the independance of the U.S.A., naval/ agricultural /water management /sientific revolutions, some periods in time where our faith could have turned out very differently (karolingean empire, sudden death of all the male heirs of the Bourgondian line, creation of a greater buffer State between France and Prussia after the napoleonic wars etc. Keep up the great video’s I think a very good way for people to get acquainted with world history. 🫶

Moluccans ambonese also won many battles under pattimura but was betrayed

I'm sure that some pedant has already noted that December 31, 1780 was actually the last year of the 18th century. By the accepted Western calendar at the time, anyway.

my grandma when still alive told me that, when the Dutch colonialized, it did not feel like colonialized. everything is working normally. She’s working as a teacher at the Colomandu factory. colonialized felt strong when the Japanese came.

Amsterdam is placed wrongly in the opening shot

nusantara means: islands in between two continents which isn't applicable to territories that isn't island, malay peninsula for instance. nusa means island/islands, antara means in between.

The Dutch did not colonize Indonesia; they colonized the Malay Archipelago!
2
A gov-general (J.P. Coen) was more like a VOC CEO, who would be put in charge by the board to do their bidding. The "Gentlemen 17" were actually in charge which is like a board of directors. Which is usually how it works in corporations.

Nusantara is not Malay words, it's belong to Javanese Indonesian
4
The dutch didnt proselytize because it wasnt their goal. Remember that half of the time indonesia was colonized by VOC, a trade company. The dutch actually hampers some christianization progress.. But christianity still prevails in Indonesia as in modern indonesia as the fastest growing religion in Indonesia (by population percentage) according to our ministry of religious affair data.

21:20 Just a minor correction on the map, after The Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824 the Johor-Riau Sultanate is divided into Johor Sultanate under the British rules, and the Riau-Lingga Sultanate under the Dutch rules, thus resulting in the Riau islands fell into Dutch rules (the map shown in the video it's on British rules which is incorrect).
2
The Dutch succeeded in conquering the Nusantara with the politics of Devide et Impera, dividing and then conquering. In 1891, Dr. Snouck Hurgronje, an Orientalist, came to the Aceh Sultanate to find out the weaknesses of the Acehnese people. The Indonesian independence movement began in 1912, when HOS Tjokroaminoto founded Sarekat Islam. There were 3 students group who formed the Islamist (Kartosuwiryo), Nationalist (Soekarno and Alimin), and Communist (Semaun and Musso). These three groups fought for Indonesian independence. And they also control modern Indonesian politics.
1
I understand why Dutch was so bother to keep Indonesia. Even in modern days spices are very profitable (it also smells good), my family own spices farm in North Sulawesi, it was pass down from my Spanish great grandparents. And recently my youngest brother take care of it and start expanding it.
1
Colonization is what makes Indonesia but there's still a chance uniting this archipelago if you remember Majapahit ruled over much of this archipelago though the area under majapahit is still debatable. I consider Dutch before colonization still bigger than each sultanate since they have sea route from dutch to America,they have tiny possesion in Japan too,count the sea too
5
It is funny how the Dutch act like they weren't brutal as the British or the French in colonial affairs.
14
The gekoloniseerd joke isn’t hip anymore, right? 🤔😅🤷
6
It would guess that it helped the Dutch that they never forced their language and culture on the local population. It leaves the population with something that is absolutely not, but feels a bit like freedom. There is a difference between following 'the rules' and following 'their rules'.

It's not because of spice but 3G..Gold, Glory dan Gospel..Malay Archipelago is rich with gold and islam growing very fast here..

For anyone interested in dutch colonial rule in 19th century indonesia, Multatuli's "max havelaar" is a very good read. It is a first-hand satirical account that's critical of colonial policy but doesn't oppose it. It's author is considered to be one of the most important dutch writers of all time.
As a demographic expert, the real population of Indonesia is now more than 350 to 400 million and is 100% surely higher than the population of the United States... The number of phone subscribers in Indonesia in 2017 reached 435 million subscribers while In the United States it is 373 million for the year 2023, and the number of births in Indonesia It amounts to 6 to 7 million annually, compared to 3.5 million annually in the United States... Indonesia is surely the third most populous country with a population of 350 to 400 million and has all the qualifications to become a great empire.

The Dutch faced fierce resistance from the Sultanate of Aceh, aswell as muslim leaders in other regions such as Sultan Diponegoro and Tuanko Imam Bonjol. Thousands of Dutch soldiers lost in these wars

I think the Dutch did not regret trading Manhattan at all. You have to consider the value of Manhattan in colonial times versus the value of the Spice Islands. Think about it from a British perspective. The British LOVED Nutmeg and actually would trade Nutmeg in the colonies for Rifles… yes a seed was worth something that could garner you meat for years. That being said, it’s shocking the British gave up the Spice Islands for Manhattan. The riskier decision was certainly on the British Empires part. I see the Dutch as opportunistic but not particularly colonial. They seem to aim for short term gains where the reward is high with the hopes of its financial impact fueling future endeavors as they arise. Preparedness in financial endeavors is key and the Dutch were very focused on building wealth rather than stretching it thin. Speaking of stretching an empire thin, it’s not exactly like the British were able to maintain the land they gained from the Dutch. I feel as if the concept of maintaining a large piece of land from a far is flawed in its mere infidelity. Especially in those colonial days when traveling wasn’t exactly expedient. The British, in my humble opinion, are the best example of how not to colonize land. The Dutch are the best example of how to do it right. Focus on mutual relationships with natives, avoid wars and profit.

Calm down with the bias. We all know colonizing is bad, but saying things like “they weren’t technologically at a disadvantage” and then in the next sentence say they were copying europeans tech, hiring europeans and reverse engineering them. which is it now? it just unnecessarily reduced the quality of the episode for the sale of social justice or whatever this is supposed to do.

Also most locals were not slaves only those who were prisoners of wars and those who accepted chrisianity were free and were part of society. Africans were shipped to indonessia to work or serve, but those africans didnt have contact with the locals

So these areas had no slavery, no forced labor, no oppression before the Dutch. Strange since everywhere else these things were common everywhere else where large numbers of competing and frequently warring states existed.

It's not that great that out of the ruble of war thorn the Netherlands aka East India the Republic of Indonesia arose. Because after this event their Governement continued ethnic cleansing in other parts of that new Indonesia especially against the local tribes on Papua New Guinea! It was the Engish wars that made the Dutch lose their influence around the world. Simply because most merchant ships where converted into fast and light battle ships. The remainder of the merchant fleet was due to lack of money slowly rotting away. The VOC dissolves around 1795 due to a bad fleet, lack of money, major corruption and the down of a new war with France. When the English - Dutch wars ended the French occupied the Netherlands. The Dutch sought help from the English. Together with the English and Russians, now called The Allies, fought a battle for liberation in 1799 against the Batavian (Bataafse) Republc which was actually a French made state. The Allies were lead by Dutch stadholder Willem V which was exiled in England. This expedition to North Holland was not a succes. After some battles at Den Helder, Camperduyn, Crabbendam, Bergen, Alkmaar, Castricum both parties came to an agreement. The Allies moved out. The French occupied the Low Countries until 1814. It then became the Kingdom of The Netherlands as we know it today. In 1830 due to internal struggle the Southern parts of the Netherlands declared indepandence. This is now known for as the Kindom of Belgium.

I'm Indonesian and I'm still don't agree with the name "INDONESIA". First of all, it was a given name by a German, not original. Second "Indonesia" is not even close to Indus valey or even polynasian countries. NUSANTARA is better or even SWARNADVIPA better than Indonesia

Once decolonisation set in, there were many genocides to follow. Some by the Dutch, but many more by the Javan government trying to centralise and rule the islands. I wouldn't say Indonesia is entirely free as of today, but more free than under Dutch rule.

We Indonesian knew Dutch are a bad colonizer when they trade Run Island with Manhattan. What interesting due to the event of Java War in 1825-1830 led by Prince of Mataram, Dipanegara, Belgium able to become sovereign because Dutch spent most of their resources against Dipanegara guerilla war tactics. Hence why Dipanegara struggle against Dutch considered as inspiration for many nationalist like Cokroaminoto, Sukarno, and Hatta,

As a Dutch citizen, though only born after 1964, so long after Indonesias well deserved independence, I apologize for what my countrymen did. As remarked in the documentary, it did start out as a trading thing. And had it not, it could have been the Portuguese, Spanish or English. That does not make us less guilty for getting greedy and wanting to control though. But all that is left for me is to say sorry.

conclusion The statement that the Dutch colonized Indonesia for 300 years is not entirely accurate. There are several things that need to be clarified: 1. VOC and the Dutch Government: Colonization began with the Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie (VOC), a Dutch trading company, which began operating in the archipelago in the early 17th century. The VOC established power in Batavia (now Jakarta) since 1619. The VOC went bankrupt in 1799, and its territory was taken over by the Dutch Government. So, since 1800, these areas were controlled directly by the Dutch state. 2. Areas Controlled: Not all of the archipelago was controlled by the Dutch for 300 years. Initially, the Dutch only controlled a few strategic areas such as Batavia, Maluku and other important beaches. Most of the Indonesian archipelago was only gradually controlled by the Dutch in the 19th century, especially after the Diponegoro War (1825-1830) and massive colonial expansion at the end of the 19th century. 3. Duration of Power: If calculated from 1619 (founding of Batavia by the VOC) to 1942 (Japanese occupation), the duration is around 323 years. However, that does not mean the entire archipelago was under Dutch rule during that period. Some regions, such as Aceh, were not fully subjugated until the late 19th century, while other regions retained local autonomy. 4. Japanese Occupation: The Dutch lost control of Indonesia for three years (1942-1945) due to the Japanese occupation in World War II. Thus, the claim of “300 years of colonialism” is a historical simplification that ignores regional variations, periods of uneven power, and changing political and economic influences. thanks.

I think you missed the events of 1825-1830. It was the Java War or De Java Oorlog. The war led by Pangeran Diponegoro against the Dutch forces under General Hendrik Merkus de Koc. The war brought huge losses to both sides. Economically, the Netherlands had to bear considerable losses of up to 25 million gulden or 2.2 billion US dollars today. And made a huge impact politically for the Dutch East Indies in its colonies. Maybe you can make a video about the Java War in the future.
Dutch sailors had a 50% chance of returning home. The only one prospering were the ruling classes of Nusantara and the Netherlands

Because Dutch colonization brought Indonesia's nation together, something Indonesia had never been able to do before, Indonesia should be thankful to them. The Dutch colonial territory stretches from Merauke, Papua, to the island of Weh in the outer east. Later, Indonesia made a claim to the former Dutch colony. The Dutch planted and Indonesia reaped the results.
Awesome video!
FREE PAPUA What do you call: 1) Trans migration program: Deporting Papuans and importing islanders from Java to replace the original population. Before the Indonesian invasion, Papua was 99% inhabited by Papuans, now it's 60%. What is taking away people from the land and giving that land to people you prefer? Right colonization. 2) The vast amount of resources extracted are not reinvested in Papua. What do you call this. Exploitation. Typical for colonization. 3) Denying basic human rights, denying ngo's to operate in the area, denying journalists to operate in the area and denying human rights organisations to operate in the area? Preventing other people to witness the genocide and colonization. 4) Things happening in Papua to this day: Violent military campaigns and extrajudicial killings have claimed the lives of thousands of West Papuans. Thousands more have been subjected to torture, disappearance, arbitrary detention, rape, or other forms of serious mental and bodily harm 5) Did the Papuans ever vote or got a chance to vote to become part of Indonesia. NO. So what do you call doing all of the above things, invading a country and not letting the people to decide their faith. Right colonization. The right of self determination is a basic human right under the UN charter, which Indonesia signed... 6) Regardless, Papua has the highest poverty rate in Indonesia. It is nearly three times the national average. It also has the highest infant, child, and maternal mortality rates in Indonesia, as well as the worst health indicators and the lowest literacy rates. 7) In April 2021 between April and November 2021, Indonesian forces carried out systematic extrajudicial killings and torture. It forcibly displaced at least 5,000 West Papuans. The UN has reported that since 2018 the number of internally displaced Papuans has grown to 60,000 to 100,000 people. The Indonesian government severely restricts journalists’ and human rights workers’ access to West Papua. In 2020, Indonesia passed a law to restrict internet services and to authorize arrests of journalists for publishing “prohibited content.” Indonesia controls the narrative of conflict in West Papua. It portrays separatists as criminal terrorists to justify its military’s genocidal campaign. The UN has reported that Indonesian authorities obstruct the delivery of humanitarian aid to displaced Papuans. Indonesia’s abuse of human rights and its use of dehumanizing racist hate speech against West Papuans represent Stage 3: Discrimination, and Stage 4: Dehumanization. The Indonesian Army’s massacres, torture, sexual assault, forced displacement, and obstruction of humanitarian aid amounts to Stage 9: Extermination. Indonesia’s denial of access to West Papua to journalists and human rights groups constitutes Stage 10: Denial. Genocide Watch Recommends: · A UN Human Rights Council Independent Investigative Team should be allowed access to West Papua to investigate genocidal massacres, extrajudicial killings, torture, and other human rights abuses. · The investigation should include the complicity of foreign corporations in these abuses. · Indonesia should repeal its laws that authorize internet blackouts and that ban “prohibited content.” · Indonesia should allow unrestricted access for journalists, human rights, and humanitarian aid workers. · Indonesia should pass and enforce laws placing environmental restrictions on resource extraction. · Indonesia should pass protection of property laws to prevent further dispossession of West Papuan land.

It should be noted that the memory of European colonialism cannot be so easily ignored. While not every issue in the developing/third world can be laid at the feet of Europe it is still impossible to ignore that European rule was often a negative experience for these nations and peoples. The reaction against Western rule is one of the reasons Islamic fundamentalism is a problem today.

The primary objective of Dutch colonization was to benefit the colonizers at the expense of the local populations. The systems and policies implemented were designed to extract maximum economic value with minimal investment in the welfare of the indigenous people. This led to long-term negative impacts on economic development, social cohesion, and political stability in the colonized regions, leaving little benefit for the local populations. Indonesia's journey from independence to its current stage in 2024 has been marked by significant political, economic, and social transformations. The country has made substantial progress in developing its economy, infrastructure, and human capital, while also facing and addressing various challenges. The legacy of Dutch colonization has been largely overcome, with Indonesia emerging as a resilient and dynamic nation.

Partly a reason for the Dutch managing to control the vast Indonesian archipelago, is because they didn't care about converting people to Christianity like the Catholic Spanish and Portuguese. (Also the reason why the Dutch were allowed to trade with/in Japan for a long time; "Don't wanna convert? Fine, let's trade"). When the Dutch protestants fought the Catholic Spaniards on their soil, there was an alliance with the Ottomans. Folks would say, they'd 'rather be Turk than Catholic'. That's why, on some old Dutch protestant churches you'll also see the Muslim crescent moon symbol.

The Dutch also got Surinam which made a lot of money from the New York deal. They would surely have lost it in the American Independence war if they had not traded it.
Famous malay proverb “Belanda meminta tanah” means the dutch request the land is popular until today,

You seriously need to do some more research on the Dutch Republic and the 80 Years War... not that difficult to find out Texel (pronounced Tessel) is an island, in the lee of which joint fleets from the Northern provinces would gather and take on water before journeys. Also, protestantism wasn't the only reason for the Revolt. The (northern) Dutch pretty much controlled the Baltic grain trade, and were forbidden from trading with Portugal by the Spanish...

Between 1950 and 1963, approximately 350,000 people migrated from the former Dutch East Indies and Dutch New Guinea to the Netherlands. About 50,000 left for the US and Canada. In the US the Indonesian diaspora is called Amerindos. The Netherlands currently has a large Indonesian diaspora of between 1.5 and 2 million. These are various ethnic communities that have retained their culture and language, such as the Indos (mixed with the European race), Moluccans, Papuans, Manadonese, Balinese, Chindos (Chinese), Javanese-Surinamese, and others. Compared to the other large non-Western diasporas in the Netherlands (Turks 500,000, Moroccans 450,000, and Surinamese 350,000), the Indonesian diaspora is currently well integrated and causes little to no problems.

I think it’s funny. The narrator took the time to explain that the CEO operates more like a king when in post modern times that’s what companies do. They own land, houses,gold, private security, and make their own money in the farm of digital loans. so there’s really no difference.
There are a few historical inaccuracies that shift the story quite a bit
No, Indonesian indentity only exist because of tje Dutch. Before, it's a mini Europe. Full of independent kingdoms that have different cultures and languages. Please don't characterised Indonesian as always existed. That's a lie.

But now we (Indonesia) have become a very great country, even greater than the Dutch country which previously colonized us. Education in our country is advanced and developing, our economy is strong, even our military is much stronger than the Netherlands which used to fool us, and in fact now we are much stronger than the Netherlands which is only a country the size of a city in our country.

12:30 This wasn't just killing off the population. Jan Pieterszoon Coen took the leader of the Bandanese to a VOC fort and hacked him to death with a katana in front of all the VOC merchants and staff. One write in a diary how gruesome it was, but at least they would have full control of the nutmeg trade. Coen killed 14.000 of the 15.000 Bandanese and put the remaining 1.000 to work as slaves on the plantations. The VOC was one of the most violent companies and had committed several genocides, before the Dutch government took over and kept the VOC methods.

In fact Indonesia or nusantara was controlled for more than 300 years is history created by the colonialists, Nusantara was not controlled for more than 300 years by the Dutch or VOC , but it took the VOC more than 300 years to control the entire Nusantara, because the Nusantara still has some an independent region with a strong ruler and kingdom, the small example of Aceh was only controlled in the 19th century and Buton was never colonized. and the unitary state of the Republic of Indonesia was formed in 1945, which was previously called the Nusantara "Isn't history made by winners?"

As such Dutch History would be forever doomed - overshadowed by colonialism, the English "defeating" the Spanish Armada, the American and French Revolutions. Nobody ever talks of the Dutch Republic being the first true capitalist democracy in history, the most powerful navy in the 17th century that sent Spain, England and France onto their knees, its military reforms that founded the basis of Line Infantry and Napoleonic Warfare, and its 80-year long war of independence that makes the American revolution look like child's play to the point that parts of the American Declaration of Independence is literally the Act of Abjuration (Dutch Declaration of Independence) copied and pasted. Alas. Such a shame.

What the hell happened to the map of Europe at the very beginning of the video? 😅
Corporations are not private, they are you guessed it kind of like states. Just as in a society subject to the authority (force) of the state there is mainly private property, which is subject to the abuses of the state, so in a corporation the capital is private, but the corporation is not. By the way, the so-called "public property" is nonsense, it is a dissolution of property. Public property is nobody's property, it is a temporary usufruct of bureaucrats. Returning to corporations, control of capital no longer belongs to the individual. That means private: of the individual. When you vote on how capital is used it is politics, not private initiative. It is ok to talk about the "capitalist hydra" as long as we are careful to dissociate capitalism (corporations and business done with the state) from the free market and the private initiative of entrepreneurs. We need to understand capitalism as another face of statism and politics.

Hopefully someone can explain my curiousity : I observe many history of colonialism and imperialism. Mostly number of population of the conquered area is much larger when compared than the conquerors. But the larger numbers was nothing. Mostly conquerors were succeed. Why could it be happened? Is it because of the conqueror's technology, local's mentality and bravery, or matter of lobbying skill?

The Dutch Empire was not like the English and French either. "Empire is too expensive". The Dutch build far more ships but had far less people and far less poor people. They didn't have the man power to rule many foreign peoples even if they had desired to, which they didn't.

Wow those Dutch were mean. This video was upsetting.
"Maybe the true 350 years of colonialism was the territories the dutch took slowly along the way."
Not "one of the first stock companies in the world", but THE first stock company in the world.
Good overview. Ppl always think colonialism and imperialism was all the same. But thats neither true nor a helpful take. Dutch colonialism in Indonesia and Suriname for example were easily some of the darkest episodes in history. And Indonesia, like many other artificially created colonial countries then carried on this legacy and did their own fair share of horrors such as to the East Timor and West Papua. Very unfortunate.
🗣 PLEASE! Do a video on The Divine Right of Kings. As well as the use of religion in global conquest.

5:37 was correct Siak was so powerful and ruled Sumatra Island with rich resource of oil until becoming Indonesia. The Sultan of Siak was the one who represent Sumatera that attended at front row at the inauguration queen Wilhemina. Somehow at 10:26 untill the end of the video you failed to mention the importance of Siak at all. Probably in a separate video you should mention how the communist party under the late Soekarno leadership era killed and forced kingdoms all over the Island to be part of Indonesia.
Considering the scale of history it remains to be seen, if the nation of Indonesia can endure in its current form. Let's not kid ourselves, it acts in many ways not unlike the old colonial overlord, especially on its outer perimeters, such as West Papua. But also the (let's call them) core islands are not immune. The diversity that makes the country strong is in danger, with certain extreme groups trying to press their faith and their specific version of their faith unto all others. That's a recipe for disaster. Although, ultimately it might not be such a terrible thing, for the country to break apart. You first need to be or learn to be good neighbours, before you can live in the same house.

'' A common perception of the age of colonization is that the Europeans conquered the world by virtue of their vastly superior guns, cannons and naval technology. However, military and naval technology was only a small part of the story.'' Only a small part? That's the whole story. First, colonialists came there from other part of world thanks to their superior military and naval tech. Locals made deals with colonialists because they had their superior tech. They owned main trade hubs with their power. they crushed the rebels with superior guns and ships. They maintained the order in colonies with their superior guns and ships.

Not sure if the constant calling of this kind of behavior as Capitalism is tongue in cheek or not. I mean not every time an economic theory exercises investment do you then have Capitalism. Unless you guys mean to say Capitalism as defined by Marx then that's amorphous as one would need it to be. If you mean Adam Smith's theory of free markets then this is very much not in line with that. The key marker is that an economic structure that is based on Smith's observation must include creating consumers. So genocide would be counter productive.

No population census has been conducted in Indonesia since its liberation from Dutch colonialism. Although Indonesia is a Muslim country, the fifth column and the ruling lobby in Indonesia are Christian and loyal to the West (most of the ruling lobbies in Islamic countries are Christian), and Indonesia is the third most populous and more populated than United States of america, ...the numbers given are just baseless estimation... If you want to know the real number of Muslims in any country you should do the real number of Muslims in an islamic country = number of muslims according to the government that rule that islamic country + 10%-20% of that number the real number of Muslims in an non muslim country = number of muslims according to the government that rule that non muslim country × 2 the real number of Muslims in a Christian or western country = number of muslims according to the government that rule that Christian or western country ×3-9 for example if the government of a christian or western country said we have 100,000 muslims in our territory ..that mean the real number of muslims in their territory is 300,000 or maybe 900,000

I wonder how Europeans feel when they watch these videos and learn that they earned their current wealth as a result of massacres and tears?
Everything was fine with the good old European capitalism ))) they had fangs and claws back then
But how dutch failed to influence the Catholicism in Indonesia ?

Dutch deforestation in Sumatra. The Dutch started deforestation in the East Coast of Sumatra. At least 80% of the area in the lowland of North Sumatra had been deforested by 1940. Karl Pelzer’s study using data of 1940 showed that in the two largest tobacco production area (Deli and Serdang afdeeling), 61% of the land was used for tobacco production, 31% not being used, and only 8% under forest. So more than 90% of the area had already been cleared. … on the distant horizon, encompassed by the virgin forest, half enveloped still in the milk-white morning mists, was land that would one day become the new estate. For centuries on end the secret struggle for life had gone on in the perennial dusk. Suddenly men had come, cutting, uprooting, destroying the majestic tree trunks, and the myriad suckers of the creepers. The blows of axes had resounded through the forest, and a thundering roar, magnified a thousand fold, had echoed through the dim depths like the sound of a dire disaster as these old giants of the forest fell dying. Still, under these colossal trunks with foliage lying criss-cross all over the ground, the black, soft, moist humus had continued to live. … Then in one morning at one stroke fire had put an end to all that remained. It had flared up, crackling, hissing, sizzling among the mighty tree trunks. … There had been a raging era of fire, a furious flood of flames bellowing as it reached up heavenward. Before they had realised what was happening, plants and animals had been annihilated. Madelon Lulofs-Szekely, Coolies (1933) Felled trees for tobacco plantation in Deli in 1890s. When we talk about deforestation, Indonesia always came up as the main culprit. Less talked about is Dutch root of deforestation in Indonesia. As described above by Madelon Lulofs-Szekely, many parts of Sumatra’s East coast were still covered by jungles in the 19th Century. The Dutch discovered the tobacco industry in Deli in the 1860s and created a an industrial-scale plantation system. The local sultans collaborated and gave concessions of 1000–2000 hectares of land to each company in a 75-year lease. The Dutch colonial planters assumed that tobacco could only grow well in the soil that had just been cleared from the virgin jungle. Thus the industry drove large-scale virgin forests clearing to produce tobacco leaves exported to Europe and America. The Dutch then realised they cannot clear the land unlimitedly. In 1880, the fallow system was introduced. The land is cultivated once for tobacco and left fallow for 8 years. Thus, each year only a tenth of the area was used for tobacco production. Cleared jungles The 1890 Koloniaal Verslag (colonial report) reported that the area of the East coast of Sumatra (Deli, Padang Bedagai, Serdang, Landkat, Batu Bara, Labuhan Batu & Asahan afdeeling) had established a total of 232 estates/companies with a total of 426,000 hectares of land concession. The east coast of Sumatra was then known as Cultuurgebied, the plantation belt. The areas had been carved up with concessions for tobacco and rubber, as shown in this map from 1920. The plantation belt of the East Coast of Sumatra in 1920. The yellow areas are for tobacco and green areas are for rubber. A closer look on the map for the afdeeling of Serdang, about 85% of the area had already been given to various companies. The land was divided into parcels, each with a company’s name. A map of the Serdang division. All lands were parcelled and allocated to companies. It is challenging to estimate the amount of deforested areas, but most lands on the East coast of Sumatra had already been cut up as concessions to European companies since 1870s. Karl Pelzer’s study using data of 1940 showed that in the two largest tobacco production area (Deli and Serdang afdeeling), 61% of the land was used for tobacco production, 31% not being used, and only 8% under forest. So more than 90% of the area had already been cleared. All products from the land were exported. Feldwick reported the following principal articles exported from the east coast of Sumatra in 1915: Kerosene, 140,280,021 litres; benzine and gasolene, 84,600,762 litres; liquid fuel, 6,296,20 litres; forest products, 6,006,621 kg; , rubber: Hevea, 9,085,943 kg; Ficus plantation, 441,222 kg; Ficus jungle, 32,213 kg; other sorts, 1,693 kg; Copra, 5,105,240 kg; gambier, 2, 124,979; gutta-percha, 583,421 kg; charcoal, 916,704 kg; Coffee: Liberia, 2,174,106 kg; Robusta, 1,188,552 kg ; Java, 11,047 kg; other sorts, 97,264 kg; black pepper, 1,487,555 kg; Penang nuts, 4,006,294 kg; rattan, 4,517,462 kg: sago flour, 176,586 kg; Deli tobacco leaf, 20,821,722 kg; tea leaves, 638, 118 kg ; trassi, 8,717,755 kg; salt or dried fish, 26,092,005 kg; fresh fruit, 47,092 kg. Plantation was a big investment. As reported further by Feldwick: At the end of 1915, the total amount was estimated at over f 200,000,000. Of this sum, tobacco claimed about 46,000,000, of which f 40,000,000 represented Dutch money, and f 4,665,000 British. Coffee and rubber absorbed about f 124,000, 000, and of this Dutch investments aggregated over f 62,000,000 and British f 53,645,932. The money in tea stood at f 7,170,000, nearly f 6,000,000 of which British capital. Coconuts, coffee, gambier, and oil palms have also attracted foreign capital. The Americans were in as well with the Hollandsch Amerikaansche Plantage Maatschappij (later became the United States Rubber Plantation Inc.) in Kisaran. The Belgians had Société Financière des Caoutchoucs (Socfin) with oil palm plantations in Asahan. The following graph illustrated the area harvested for the main commodities in the east coast. Tobacco was the main product, reaching a peak in 1910, and soon rubber took over. Overall, I estimated by 1940, over 1 million hectares of the land in the east coast of Sumatra had been deforested by colonial planters. And all of the monies go to foreign companies. Thee Kian Wee summarised it as In 1938 this region, with an area of only 1.7 percent of the whole territory of the country and a population of only 2.5 percent of its total population, accounted for not less than 21 percent of the country‘s total exports. Finally on the extinction of animals, Albert Frys-Wyssling, the father of molecular biologist who worked for AVROS in Medan in early 1930s wrote: the original large animal fauna of the Sumatran lowland forests with elephants, rhinos, tapir and orangutans had long been expelled from the cultivated land of the east coast, but the small remnant of the jungle had given the tigers and their feeding base of wild boars a shelter in the middle of the plantation area. Ladislao Szekely in Tropical Fever wrote: Dark and precipitous, the fringe of the forest reared skyward. Tomorrow those trees, too, would lie felled on the ground. With no mercy, no compassion, the human will here squander its energy. A few years hence bungalows would stand here, tennis courts and streets would be built, automobiles would be tearing along and factory chimneys smoking. Only yesterday the bloodthirsty tiger had here mangled his booty; frightened the herd of deer had fled; quietly and majestically the rulers of the desert, the elephants, had paced through their realm. However, we need to remember that forests are not important, just money is important! Afterall, we need to buy a car every year and new computers, playstations, phones and more and more and more of NADA!

Indonesians must thank them Dutches despite the atrocities. Without them, Indonesia wouldnt exists, or it would not be as big as today, as today's indonesia's teritory based on the Netherland's occupation lands. Seeing their history, indonesia tribes chieftains love wars too themselves, it is impossible to unite the lands under one seas. Their common struggle against the dutch brought them together. Also, without Netherland, Indonesia would be still poor and uncivilised af today, like most of african countries today. Hard facts but facts nonetheless.

The arch of history inevitably bends towards justice. Just like china eventually surpassed its European colonizers in gdp, so too will Indonesia soon surpass the Dutch. By sheer population size, Indonesia already wins; coupled with 6-7% gdp growth per year, it’s only a matter of time.

As a Dutch historian, I can confirm this documentary is very accurate. It's just that more nostalgic and nationalist Dutch people still refuse to acknowledge just how much violence and exploitation was involved, and that only a small group of rich men in Holland really benefited from the VOC colonisation of "Insulinde". In recent decades, the term "Golden Age" has been rightfully criticised and gradually became obsolete, although some will still argue Coen did not commit genocide, and that we should continue to have streets and other things named after him and other VOC leaders, who in the 21st century would have been condemned for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Ironically, students in the Netherlands are taught that the brutal colonialism in Indonesia, which resulted in the deaths of thousands (perhaps millions) of people, was not colonialism but merely business.
Holland? It is the Netherlands. Holland are just 2 provinces (north and south) of the Netherlands.
Sorry but this narrator has no clue what he is saying or is biased. He doesn’t express the fact that most of the world tribes did not have a burning desire to steal from other tribes as did the Europeans. What people with brain should understand is these little European ships that first explored the world and had contact with local people were trusted by the natives. That’s obvious. These natives had no idea of the evil sinister plans these European “explorers” had in mind. The colonialists were nothing but scoundrels and opportunists. I would literally be dying of shame if I was European and my ancestors had any hand in it

As a nation that has colonized and destroyed Indonesia, I think the Dutch must be responsible for everything they have done to Indonesia. Maybe an apology has been given, but furthermore the Netherlands must provide something for Indonesia to develop.
