There is some history of Indonesia as follows: D
Fossils and the remains of tools show that the Indonesian archipelago was inhabited by
Homo erectus, popularly known as the "
Java Man", between 1.5 million years ago and as recently as 35,000 years ago.
Homo sapiens reached the region by around 45,000 years ago.In 2011 evidence was uncovered in neighbouring
East Timor, showing that 42,000 years ago these early settlers had high-level maritime skills, and by implication the technology needed to make ocean crossings to reach Australia and other islands, as they were catching and consuming large numbers of big deep sea fish such as tuna.
Austronesian peoples, who form the majority of the modern population, migrated to South East Asia from Taiwan. They arrived in Indonesia around 2000 BCE, and as they spread through the archipelago, confined the native
Melanesian peoples to the far eastern regions.
[20] Ideal agricultural conditions, and the mastering of
wet-field rice cultivation as early as the 8th century BCE, allowed villages, towns, and small kingdoms to flourish by the 1st century CE. Indonesia’s strategic sea-lane position fostered inter-island and international trade, including links with Indian kingdoms and China, which were established several centuries BCE. Trade has since fundamentally shaped Indonesian history.
Sukarno moved Indonesia from democracy towards authoritarianism, and maintained his power base by balancing the opposing forces of the
military and the
Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI).
An attempted coup on 30 September 1965 was countered by the army, who led
a violent anti-communist purge, during which the PKI was blamed for the coup and effectively destroyed Around 500,000 people are estimated to have been killed. The head of the military,
General Suharto, outmaneuvered the politically weakened Sukarno, and was formally appointed president in March 1968. His
New Order administration was supported by the US government, and encouraged
foreign direct investment in Indonesia, which was a major factor in the subsequent three decades of substantial economic growth. However, the authoritarian "New Order" was widely accused of
corruption and suppression of political opposition.
Indonesia was the country hardest hit by the
late 1990s Asian financial crisis. This led to popular protest against the New Order which led to
Suharto's resignation in May 1998. In 1999, East Timor voted to secede from Indonesia, after
a twenty-five-year military occupation that was marked by international condemnation of repression of the East Timorese. Since Suharto's resignation,
a strengthening of democratic processes has included a regional autonomy program, and the first
direct presidential election in 2004. Political and economic instability, social unrest,
corruption, and
terrorism slowed progress, however, in the last five years the economy has performed strongly. Although relations among different religious and ethnic groups are largely harmonious, sectarian discontent and violence has occurred. A political settlement to an armed separatist conflict in
Aceh was achieved in 2005.
