The Indonesian Question in the United Nations
Why do you
think this was? (who was involved - list
the countries who had a ‘claim’ in the archipelago). I think it was like the UN
they meant. Some of the countries that were involved in that archipelago are
South Korea, Switzerland and Australia.
What is an
‘diplomatic offensive’? (you will need to look up the words) How is this different from a ‘military
offensive’? A diplomatic offensive is an offensive that relates to governmental
things. It is different from a military offensive because military offensive is
an operation that has something to do with army force and their purpose is
usually to inhabit a place, and that is different from a diplomatic offensive
because a diplomatic offensive is the operation that relates with the
government, not army forces.
What was the
“Linggarjati Agreement”? What countries
signed the treaty? The “Linggarjati Agreement” kind of mocks the Indonesia’s
independence proclamation. This agreement is an agreement that states the
Indonesia republic to be under control of the Dutch. The countries that signed
this treaty were Indonesia and Netherland.
Why did
Indonesians disapprove of the Agreement? Indonesians disapprove of the
agreement because the agreement says that the Dutch may gain control of the
whole republic, so of course the Indonesians disapprove the agreement.
What was the
Renville Agreement? What countries were involved in it? The Renville Agreement
is the agreement that states that Indonesia only owns some parts of their land.
They are: East Java, Yogyakarta and Sumatra. The countries that were involved
in it were India and Australia.
Who was Muso
and what did he try to do? What party was he with? Muso was a part of
Indonesians communist country, the PKI. What he tried to do that time was to
take the government down and he was the leader of this action.
How did the
Dutch violate the Renville Agreement in 1948? The Dutch violate the Renville
Agreement in 1948 by invading Yogyakarta, arresting President Soekarno, Vice-
President Mohammad Hatta and other leaders.
In one
paragraph, explain what happened between the time Pandit Jawaharial Nehru of
India helped initiate diplomatic meetings until May 7th, 1949.
What happened between that time were
first, the UN pressed the Dutch to let go of control from Indonesia and to give
back Indonesia their people that were prisoners of them. Second, on the 28th
of January 1949, the UN instructed the Dutch to stop fighting and to let go of
Indonesia’s leaders and also their capital city during that time, Yogyakarta.
Third, because the Dutch ignored those instructions given, they proclaimed to
everyone that the government and army of the Republic of Indonesia have no
longer existed. Fourth, it’s the turn for the Indonesians to make the actions.
Because the Indonesians heard of what the Dutch stated about their army and
government, people of Indonesia arranged an attack on March 1 1949 that was led
by Soeharto. This attack was in Yogyakarta and also, this offense succeeded as
they had occupied to the city even though just for a few hours. The reason why the
Indonesians did this is because they wanted to show everybody that what the
Dutch said about the Republic’s government and army is wrong. And that was all
that happened during the time between the time when Pandit Jawaharial Nehru of
India helped initiate diplomatic meetings until the 7th of May 1949.
