year plan (1960 - 1968) Thirdly, the State's policies are adjusted in favor of the state economic sectors, both controlling and linking with the Chinese capital Fourthly, use the national banking system as a means of borrowing and spending the state Along with that, cultural policies were also implemented by the new government, to eliminate the influence of colonial culture, build a modern national culture, based on traditional cultural values 3.3.3 Executing foreign policy to enhance Indonesia's position in the international arena 3.3.3.1 Foreign policy with the Netherlands and the issue of West Irian recovery (West New Guinea) After the Round Table Conference (12/1949), the Dutch government and the Indonesian government failed to find common ground in resolving the Western Irian dispute In 1950, 1952, 1954, Indonesia held meetings with representatives of the Netherlands to discuss the issue of West Irian Differences in the position of the two countries in the West Irian issue forced Indonesia to stop negotiations and give comments to the United Nations General Assembly Since 1955, Indonesia has fought for the initiation of protocols relating to the abolition of the Netherlands - Indonesia Alliance In 1956, Indonesia unilaterally declared the 17 abolition of the Netherlands - Indonesia Alliance By the end of 1959, early 1960s, small Indonesian armed groups began to infiltrate West Irian to attack the Netherlands The situation is extremely severe and war is expected to occur at any time Under pressure from the United States and international opinion, the Dutch were forced to declare that they would transfer West Irian to Indonesia on May 1st 1963 3.3.3.2.Indonesia's foreign policy to the US and the Soviet Union In the 1950s - 1965, when the "Cold War" was in a state of tension, the relationship between Western states, led by the United States, and the Soviet Union and the socialist states has created regional conflicts in many areas, including Southeast Asia With a strategically important position, Indonesia has become a place of dispute over the influence of the great powers and is trapped in the Soviet "bipolar" relationship In that situation, it was forcing Indonesia to have diplomatic foreign policy to protect its national independence and not be dragged into the war of one of the "two poles." Thus, Indonesia has maintained a single, independent, positive principle throughout the 1950s, friendly to both the United States and the Soviet Union, but not to the capitalist or socialist model 3.3.3.3 Indonesia's foreign policy to Asian, African, Latin American and neighboring countries For countries with traditional ties such as India, Indonesia implements friendly foreign policies, actively supports the struggle to consolidate its independence For countries with relatively high living quota in Indonesia such as China, the Indonesian government also maintains a relatively friendly foreign policy In its foreign policy with other Asian, African and Latin American countries, Indonesia clearly demonstrates its solidarity and its role in the struggle against colonialism in the world In April 1955, Indonesia hosted the Bangdung Conference and became one of the five founding countries of the Non - aligned Movement For neighboring countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia implements foreign policy is quite tough and represents a confrontation 18 CHAPTER 4: SOME REMARKS ON THE PROCESS OF STRUGGLE FOR AND CONSOLIDATION OF NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE IN INDONESIA (1927 - 1965) 4.1 Achievements and limitations 4.1.1 Achievement 4.1.1.1 Liberating the Indonesian people from the colonial rule of the Dutch colonialists, the Japanese military, opened the era of independence, freedom and unification Before the Dutch colonialists invaded and ruled, Indonesia experienced glorious history Indonesian history has witnessed the existence of powerful feudal states such as the largest sea empire in Southeast Asia - Srivijaya (7th century AD), the Majapahit empire (14th century) But For more than 300 years under Dutch domination, more than three years under the Japanese military occupation, Indonesia has become a poor, underdeveloped colony After Indonesia declared independence on August 17, 1945, Japan's rule was completely overturned in this country Not only liberating the country, but also people from the condition of slavery, backward thinking, constraints have changed, and everything becomes possible In 1949, during a formal ceremony at the Dutch Palace, the Dutch had to officially recognize the independence and sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia 4.1.1.2 The economic, political, social and cultural life of the Indonesian people has been changed positively Politically, since the establishment of the Indonesian State in 1950, Indonesians have enjoyed basic civil rights: the right to vote, the right to freedom of association Party, the right to participate in the state administrative apparatus In economic terms, soon after independence, the Indonesian government introduced new economic policies aimed at overcoming inequalities between Indonesians and Dutch, putting the economy under Dutch control and the Chinese into Indonesian hands Thanks to policies that encourage the development of domestic commerce, an indigenous class of merchants has emerged as an important player in the Indonesian economy In terms of culture - society, the biggest change is in the field of education The use of Indonesian language was widespread in the education system as well as in all public organizations, in the communications system and in the media Indonesian language has been firmly established, becoming the official language of the new Indonesian nation In the field of health and public health, the progress made by Indonesia seems promising In these years, daring plans have been developed, such as Leimena's Bandung Plan, which promises strong improvements to public health 19 4.1.1.3 Maintaining national independence, contributing to promoting the struggle for independence in countries in the region and in the world With its foreign policy of independence, Indonesia did not only maintain its independence from 1945 to 1965, but also regained its colonial territories, preserved its territory, and strongly supported it For the struggle for national independence in the countries in the region and the world As one of the earliest independent claimants in Southeast Asia, and one of the five founding members of the Non - Aligned Movement, Indonesia's voice was a great encouragement to the movement To fight for independence in the region and in the world such as Vietnam, Korea, Asia and Africa For actions that link Asian nations to the establishment of a pro - Western organization against the Communists of the Philippines, Indonesia vehemently opposes it because it not only affects the country's active, independent policy It also influenced the struggle for independence of other Asian nations 4.1.2 Limitations In addition to the great achievements achieved, the struggle for and consolidation of independence in Indonesia (1927 - 1965) still has certain limitations Firstly, there is a frequent conflict between the parties during the struggle for and consolidation of national independence in Indonesia (1927 - 1965) The contradictions between the political factions in the government have made the political situation unstable, and the conflicts between political factions are inevitable Secondly, during the Indonesian government's implementation of its policy of independent consolidation, many socio - economic issues remain unresolved, such as unstable economic growth, imbalance, rising inflation, population explosion 4.2 Characteristics 4.2.1 The goal of national independence linked to harmony and national unity In the 1920s and 1930s, many political organizations were established in Indonesia, very active, but due to the lack of solidarity and unity, the movement did not generate enough power to force itself colonial rights have to yield When Japan invaded Indonesia (1942 - 1945), Japanese rule had a strong impact on Indonesia 's unification, in that it was either a secular nationalist revolutionary force or a revolutionary force Islamic networks, are trying to create a certain harmony in the struggle for independence from Indonesia Thus, the Declaration of Independence and Revolution took office in Indonesia in August 1945 successfully and limited bloodshed In the course of the struggle to consolidate independence (1945 - 1965), Indonesia experienced many divisions between political forces But in the end, the divisions still have to come to a consensus in decisions to ensure the interests of the nation: 20 4.2.2 Islam plays a decisive role in the choice of the way of salvation in Indonesia Islam is one of the symbols of national unity, against colonialism throughout the centuries Thus, in the struggle for independence and consolidation in Indonesia, which use Islam as a tool to unite the nation, that class becomes the leading class Thanks to the gathering of Islam, the path to national liberation of the bourgeoisie of Indonesia, which is characterized by bourgeois intellectuals, has attracted a wide range of people from all walks of life, religion Finally, Indonesian history has chosen the bourgeois revolutionary road 4.2.3 The form of peaceful political struggle played a major role, but other forms of struggle also supported and contributed to the success of the Indonesian revolution The form of non - cooperative political struggle began to emerge in Indonesia in 1927, when Sukarno founded the PNI party, taking the Marhadism doctrine as the basis of the ideology of struggle Besides the form of non - cooperative political struggle, there exists a form of cooperative struggle with peace, with goals At the same time, this period also promoted the role of pressuring the Japanese government, facilitating the peaceful political struggle in the city to victory In the years 1945 - 1965, the Indonesian people continued their armed struggle against the Dutch colonial invasion and the withdrawal of Western Irian In the face of armed struggle, the Indonesian government has also launched a struggle on the diplomatic and diplomatic front, calling for international support for its struggle to consolidate its independence, Forcing the Dutch government to sit at the negotiating table to recognize Indonesia's independence, as well as its territorial integrity 4.2.4 The struggle for and consolidation of independence in Indonesia from 1927 to 1965 was linked to the leadership of Sukarno Firstly, Sukarno was the one who set up the right and proper strategy for the independence in Indonesia, contributing to the struggle for independence in Indonesia Secondly, Sukarno acted as a propaganda speaker who attracts the people for his own way Thirdly, Sukarno contributed to the draft Constitution and drafted the Declaration of Independence for Indonesia Fourthly, Sukarno has repeatedly dissolved political protests, trying to unite the classes, classes, political parties and religions in Indonesia to maintain relative political stability throughout His years as President (1945 - 1965) Fifthly, the power to focus too much on the President, policies are arbitrarily put, deviate the principle of democracy 4.2.5 In the process of fighting for and consolidating national independence in Indonesia (1927 - 1965), PKI increasingly lost its leadership role, PNI became more and more dominant PKI is the first political organization of the proletariat in Southeast Asia and also the 21 earliest political organization in Indonesia However, due to many objective and subjective reasons, the Party has failed to uphold and promote its leadership of the struggle for and consolidation of independence in Indonesia, but has also become increasingly blurred in the process In contrast, PNI came into being at the right time after the PKI's suppression of the uprising in Java and Sumatra, but PNI drew lessons learned from liberal political organizations The ethnicity is right, consistent with the Javanese tradition and the majority of the working population (especially the peasants), so PNI has become the largest and most respected political organization in Indonesia Many of the kernel of the PKI are very many to take the role of the leading game of the leading in the first players of the following struggle and the Civilization trying to reach independence Indonesia (1927 - 1965) In which, the strategy line, history book of PKI and cannot be used with the complete history of Indonesia and no have experience in the party building components are the original owner 4.2.6 Indonesia has received great support from the international community: capitalist countries, socialist countries and Asian, African and Latin American countries With its foreign policy of independence, Indonesia has received a great deal of support from the international community, including those with different political models Meanwhile, the struggle for national independence of other countries, such as China, Vietnam, only received support from socialist and colonial countries, or India It also received support from Asian and Latin American countries This is also a unique feature in the struggle for and consolidation of national independence in Indonesia (1927 - 1965)… In the capitalist bloc, the United States and Australia were two early supporters of Indonesia In the socialist bloc, the Soviet Union and China have also made friendly moves to Indonesia's struggle for independence and freedom, beginning in the mid - 1950s Asian, African and Latin American support for Indonesia's struggle for and consolidation of independence has been strong since Indonesia's Declaration of Independence on August 17, 1945 In particular, India is the most active nation in the struggle for and consolidation of independence in Indonesia both physically and mentally In Southeast Asia, Vietnam is one of the countries that strongly supports Indonesia's struggle for and consolidation of independence, including the struggle for the return of Western Irian 22 CONCLUSION From the struggle for consolidation of independence in Indonesia (1927 - 1965), some conclusions can be drawn: The Indonesia's struggle of national independence and consolidation (1927 - 1965) was divided into two periods, each period being influenced by different factors and objectives In the period of independence (1927 - 1945), Indonesia was still under colonial rule of the Dutch colonialists and Japanese militaries and the struggles that took place in Indonesia during this period meant only one The only goal: national independence, in the period of consolidation (1945 - 1965), Indonesia became a sovereign state with legitimate government Given the circumstances, the goals of each period are different, so the way and the form of struggle of each period is different However, these are two periods of the same process, struggling to consolidate independence as a continuation of the struggle for independence, showing the choice of a path to modern Indonesia The struggle for independence in Indonesia (1927 - 1945) went through two stages: The First Period (1927 - 1941) was the period of struggle for independence under the domination of the Dutch colonialists At this stage, the main form of struggle is political struggle that takes place in two ways: “noncooperation” and “cooperation” Most of the political organizations established during this period used one of two methods of fighting “noncooperation” or “cooperation” to claim colonial rule to recognize Indonesia's independence However, due to the lack of solidarity and unity, the struggles for independence at this stage have not been won and most have been forbidden by the colonial government The second phase (1942 - 1945) began when the Japanese entered Indonesia and ousted the Netherlands to capture the archipelago Authoritarian policies, as well as Japan's promise to give Indonesia the freedom of the future, have fueled the country's struggle for independence in a new move In addition to the form of peaceful political struggle, in some rural areas there has been the emergence of armed revolts However, the rapid changes in World War II forced the Japanese to make concessions for the preparation of an independent state in Indonesia When the imperial government announced its surrender to the Allied unqualified, the pemuda prompted revolutionary leaders to draft the Declaration of Independence and publish it to the Indonesian people on August 17, 1945 With this event, Indonesia has really gained independence, not to receive independence as a gift from the Japanese After the Declaration of Independence, the Indonesian people faced the Dutch invasion of Britain with the help of Britain, under the name of Allied forces, to disarm Japan In the 23 spirit of defending national independence, in the years 1945 - 1950, the Indonesian people had armed struggle against two major Dutch military campaigns (Operation 1947 and Operation Crow In 1948, at the same time fiercely fighting at the negotiating table, calling for international support, forced the Netherlands to sign diplomatic agreements in turn: the Lingadjati Agreement (March 1947), the Renville Agreement (1/1948) and finally the Round Table in La Hay (12/1949), the Netherlands officially recognized Indonesia's independence The Republic of Indonesia was officially united on August 17, 1950 with President Sukarno's statement During the 1950s and 1965s, the Indonesian government faced difficulties in political, economic and social instability in the country, struggling to maintain its independence and Irian Western recovery is still in Dutch hands In order to solve these problems, the Indonesian government has put forward quite comprehensive policies and measures: building and consolidating the democratic political system, developing an independent, autonomous, Foreign "independence", "positive", enhancing Indonesia's position in the international arena However, due to the newly established government, the fledgling state, and five years of independent warfare, the measures taken by the government and the Indonesian government to strengthen independence In this stage, it is not effective The greatest achievement of the struggle for and consolidation of independence in Indonesia (1927 - 1965) was the liberation of the Indonesian people from the oppression of the colonialists, the fascists, the opening of an era of independence and self - determination and unification of the country For more than 300 years under the Dutch rule and over three years under the Japanese military occupation, Indonesian people aspired to live in an independent, independent country, exercising their basic civil rights The government's consolidation policies in the 1950s and 1965s also brought about positive improvements in the socio - political, cultural and social life of Indonesians, and contributed to the The national independence, strongly support the movement of national liberation in the countries in the region and in the world In addition, the struggle for and consolidation of independence in Indonesia (1927 1965) still has certain limitations such as the conflict between national leaders and the main factions conflicts between religions or in the same religion leading to internal armed conflicts, adversely affecting the unity of the whole nation Many socio - economic issues remain unresolved, particularly economic instability, rising inflation and population 24 explosion These limitations make the goal of a prosperous society impossible to achieve in the near future Thus, through the nearly 40 years of struggle for consolidation of national independence (1927 - 1965), the Indonesian people liberated themselves from the slavery of the colonialists, fascists, declared independence and established the united Republic of Indonesia, creating a prerequisite for the country's development in the coming years Although the Indonesian government's economic, political and diplomatic policies and measures have not really brought about a prosperous Indonesian society, it is also the first platform for Indonesia to have lessons learned precious experience in the construction of the country in the direction of industrialization and modernization LIST OF SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS PUBLISHED BY AUTHOR Pham Thi Huyen Trang (2013), “Did the Indonesian Communist Party lose itsleadership right in the people's struggle for revolution in August 1945?”, Journal of Southeast Asian Studies, No (2013), ISSN 0868 -
