Dutch Occupation is a Story of Resistance, Not Colonization: Historian

January 20, 2010

The common idea that the Dutch colonized Indonesia for 350 years is wrong, 
according to University of Indonesia Professor Taufik Abdullah.

"This nation has been drowned in the myth that Indonesia was colonized for 350 
years by the Dutch. It does not corroborate with the facts. 

What really happened was the Dutch needed more than 300 years to conquer some 
areas in the Dutch Indies," said Taufik at a seminar in Medan, North Sumatra on 
Tuesday, as quoted by TV One.

The Dutch first set foot in Indonesia in the 16th century, arriving in Banten 
harbor and led by Cornelius De Houtman, Taufik said. Rule by the Netherlands 
ended in 1942 when the Japanese conquered the Dutch East Indies.

"It is illogical to say that the Dutch conquered Indonesia as soon as they 
arrived in Banten," Taufik said.

He argued that the focus on Dutch colonization tends to devalue Indonesia's own 
history of great kings and kingdoms, especially the powerful rulers of the 17th 
century.

During that era, Sultan Iskandar Muda of the Aceh Kingdom (1607-1636) expanded 
his reign to the whole west coast of Sumatra. Sultan Agung of the Mataram 
Kingdom (1613-1645) reigned over all of Java island except Banten and Batavia 
(Jakarta). These and other local leaders fought Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese 
forces.
