This language was the official language in the Dutch East Indies until World War II, as well as in Dutch New Guinea until the New York Agreement, transfer of Western New Guinea to Indonesia in 1963. History VOC Era The general use of Dutch in Indonesia only started at the end of the colonial period. During the Dutch East India Company (VOC) period, Dutch was hardly used, and many regions actually used Malay trade and creole languages, Low Malay as a lingua franca and language of trade. People who could speak Dutch had more rights. Only natives who could speak Dutch were allowed to wear hats, and native women were only allowed to marry Europeans if they could speak Dutch.

The language was introduced with the establishment of the Dutch settlement of Batavia (present-day Jakarta); the Dutch brought in slaves from the colonies they had recently acquired from the Portuguese (especially Malacca), and the slaves' Portuguese creole became the lingua franca A lingua franca (; ; for plurals see ), also known as a bridge language, common language, trade language, auxiliary language, link language or language of wider communication (LWC), is a Natural language, language systematically used to make co ... of the new city. The name is Dutch for "freeman", as the slaves were freed soon after their settlement. The language was replaced by Betawi creole Malay in Batavia by the end of the 18th century, as the Mardijker intermarried and lost their distinct identity.

Anti-Dutch Sentiment
Anti-Dutch sentiment, also known as Dutchphobia, is a spectrum of negative feelings, fears, dislikes and discrimination towards the Netherlands, the Dutch people and the Dutch culture. It historically arose from the colonization that was undertaken by the Netherlands and the roles played by the Dutch in European wars. Dutch colonies Southeast Asia Most of present-day Indonesia was a Dutch colony, the Dutch East Indies, from 1602 to the 1942 Japanese invasion during the Second World War. After the defeat of the Japanese, the Dutch attempted to reassert control but there was too much racism. Anti-Dutch feeling developed among the native population and encompassed anything associated with the Dutch. The outcome was the Indonesian National Revolution, which culminated in the 1949 independence of Indonesia. South Africa In South Africa, the Second Boer War (1899–1902) between the British colonial government and the Boers (settlers of Dutch descent) caused anti-Dutch sentiment in t ...

Little is known of the language's prehistory, or when it first appeared in Japan. Chinese documents from the 3rd century AD recorded a few Japanese words, but substantial Old Japanese texts did not appear until the 8th century.

The sentiment changed, however, as between 4 and 10 million Indonesians were recruited as forced labourers (''romusha'') on economic development and defense projects in Java. Between 200 ...

Moluccan Diaspora
The Moluccan diaspora () refers to overseas Indonesians of Moluccan birth or descent living outside Indonesia. The most significant Moluccan diaspora community lives in the Netherlands, where it numbers 70,000 people as of 2018. Terminology In the Netherlands, a number of names are in circulation to refer to its Moluccan community, which do not all technically refer to the same group of people. The most commonly used today is "Moluccan" (), the term for the native, pre-''Transmigrasi'' inhabitants of the Moluccan Islands. One of the islands in the archipelago is Ambon. The Ambonese people constitute a clear majority of about 90% of Moluccan Dutch and, as a result, members of the Moluccan community are often referred to as "Ambonese" (), especially before 1970. The two terms are not synonymous, however, even though they continue to be used as such by both the Dutch and ethnic Ambonese. Strictly speaking, "South Moluccan" () refers to a proponent of the unrecognized Republic of ...

The date of the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence was made a public holiday by a government decree issued on 18 June 1946.

Royal Netherlands East Indies Army
The Royal Netherlands East Indies Army (; KNIL, ; ) was the military force maintained by the Kingdom of the Netherlands in its colony of the Dutch East Indies, in areas that are now part of Indonesia. The KNIL's air arm was the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army Air Force. Elements of the Royal Netherlands Navy and Government Navy were also stationed in the Netherlands East Indies. History 1814–1942 The KNIL was formed by royal decree on 14 September 1814. It was not part of the Royal Netherlands Army, but a separate military arm specifically formed for service in the Netherlands East Indies. Its establishment coincided with the Dutch drive to expand colonial rule from the 17th century area of control to the far larger territories constituting the Dutch East Indies seventy years later. The KNIL was involved in many campaigns against indigenous groups in the area including the Padri War (1821–1845), the Java War (1825–1830), crushing the final resistance of Bali inh ...
