Summary

The many islands that form the Republic of Indonesia are no strangers to armed conflict and extreme violence. The inhabitants of the archipelago have borne the brunt of foreign aggression, notably in the form of Dutch colonialism and the Japanese occupation during World War II. They have seen a vicious war of independence from the Netherlands that was both accompanied and followed by years of non-international armed conflict (NIAC) such as that surrounding the Communist uprising in Madiun in 1948, the religious Darul Islam revolt (1948–1962), the Pemesta (Piagam Perjuangan Semesta) movement centred in Manado (1957–1961) and the rebellion of the revolutionary government of the Republic of Indonesia (Pemerintah Revolusioner Republik Indonesia, PRRI) (1958).
