The war of decolonization is such a complicated conflict that it has indeed been beneficial to participate in the course research seminar ‘The decolonization war in Indonesia, 1945-1950’ last semester. My internship at the project ‘Comparing the wars of decolonization’ part of the larger research program ‘Independence, decolonization, violence and war in Indonesia, 1945-1950’ has made my Master studies far more exciting and fun than only participating at university could have ever been. This experience provided me with a better insight in colonialism and colonial wars through some very dedicated, interesting and knowledgeable people. Therefore I want to thank everyone involved in the project, which number too many people to name individually here. The internship and seminar were valuable but also made for a very busy semester, thus when the summer started there was still a significant amount of work that had to be done for this thesis. Five months of uninterrupted work has now finally completed it. My gratitude goes out to Thijs Brocades Zaalberg, who was both my internship supervisor and my thesis supervisor and provided me with the idea for this thesis and guided me along the way. He also arranged the access to the Nederlands Instituut voor Militaire Historie (NIMH) ‘diary database’, for which I thank Rémy Limpach and Tico Onderwater and everyone else at the NIMH who worked on the database. I would also like to thank Kees van Dooren for his valuable comments on my English. Especially, I want to thank my family and friends for their support and for providing the necessary distraction, while being understanding when my focus had to be on my thesis. This thesis is dedicated to my parents, without their patience and support this would have never been possible. I want to thank my mother for having the trust in me to bring it to an end, and my father for all his advice and help throughout my studies. Mischa Frenks Leiden, October 2019 3 Introduction During the Dutch-Indonesian war (1945-1949) arson and destruction can be seen as a permanent part of the Dutch colonial politics of violence aimed at deterrence and collective punishment.2 Thus concludes Dutch/Swiss historian Rémy Limpach in his book The burning kampongs of General Spoor on ‘extreme violence’ during this war. Despite the title, ‘extreme violence’ in general, rather than the use of fire in particular, is the main theme of the book. Only a small part of the book is explicitly dedicated to arson by the Dutch. 3 Nonetheless throughout this book, and in significant other publications on this war, arson is a recurring theme. Before returning to the rest of the historiography and the main research question there will be a brief introduction to the Dutch-Indonesian war, of which there will be a more detailed account in the first chapter. After the Japanese capitulation on the 15th of August 1945 Indonesian nationalist leaders Soekarno and Mohammad Hatta proclaimed the Republic of Indonesia on August 17th. At this point the Dutch had no military presence in their former colony, as most Europeans had been confined to camps by the Japanese during World War 2. British troops of the Allied South East Asia Command (SEAC) under Lord Louis Mountbatten were made responsible for the temporary governance after Japanese capitulation. However, their presence was far too small for the changed situation, and the violence of the bersiap period soon began. The violence was directed at all ethnic groups associated with Dutch colonial rule, while Indonesian groups also fought amongst themselves. The English left in the second half of 1946 and by then the Dutch government had rebuilt part of their former colonial forces, the Koninklijk Nederlands-Indisch Leger (Royal Netherlands Indies Army) (KNIL), and were expanding their troops with men from the Netherlands.4 Four years of war followed during which the Dutch tried to reclaim their former colony, largely because of their interest in the economic benefits and the international stature that had come with it. It was the largest military operation ever undertaken by The Netherlands at a point in time when the country was only just freed from German occupation itself.5 In total the Dutch mobilised over 200.000 men and the war turned into a grim counter- 2 R.

  • The Indonesian Struggle for Independence 1945 – 1949
    The Indonesian struggle for Independence 1945 – 1949 Excessive violence examined University of Amsterdam Bastiaan van den Akker Student number: 11305061 MA Holocaust and Genocide Studies Date: 28-01-2021 Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Ugur Ümit Üngör Second Reader: Dr. Hinke Piersma Abstract The pursuit of a free Indonesian state was already present during Dutch rule. The Japanese occupation and subsequent years ensured that this pursuit could become a reality. This thesis examines the last 4 years of the Indonesian struggle for independence between 1945 and 1949. Excessive violence prevailed during these years, both the Indonesians and the Dutch refused to relinquish hegemony on the archipelago resulting in around 160,000 casualties. The Dutch tried to forget the war of Indonesian Independence in the following years. However, whistleblowers went public in the 1960’s, resulting in further examination into the excessive violence. Eventually, the Netherlands seems to have come to terms with its own past since the first formal apologies by a Dutch representative have been made in 2005. King Willem-Alexander made a formal apology on behalf of the Crown in 2020. However, high- school education is still lacking in educating students on these sensitive topics. This thesis also discusses the postwar years and the public debate on excessive violence committed by both sides. The goal of this thesis is to inform the public of the excessive violence committed by Dutch and Indonesian soldiers during the Indonesian struggle for Independence. 1 Index Introduction

  • The Dutch Strategic and Operational Approach in the Indonesian War of Independence, 1945– 1949
    Scientia Militaria, South African Journal of Military Studies, Vol 46, Nr 2, 2018. doi: 10.5787/46-2-1237 THE DUTCH STRATEGIC AND OPERATIONAL APPROACH IN THE INDONESIAN WAR OF INDEPENDENCE, 1945– 1949 Leopold Scholtz1 North-West University Abstract The Indonesian War of Independence (1945–1949) and the Dutch attempt to combat the insurgency campaign by the Indonesian nationalists provides an excellent case study of how not to conduct a counter-insurgency war. In this article, it is reasoned that the Dutch security strategic objective – a smokescreen of autonomy while keeping hold of political power – was unrealistic. Their military strategic approach was very deficient. They approached the war with a conventional war mind- set, thinking that if they could merely reoccupy the whole archipelago and take the nationalist leaders prisoner, that it would guarantee victory. They also mistreated the indigenous population badly, including several mass murders and other war crimes, and ensured that the population turned against them. There was little coordination between the civilian and military authorities. Two conventional mobile operations, while conducted professionally, actually enlarged the territory to be pacified and weakened the Dutch hold on the country. By early 1949, it was clear that the Dutch had lost the war, mainly because the Dutch made a series of crucial mistakes, such as not attempting to win the hearts and minds of the local population. In addition, the implacable opposition by the United States made their war effort futile. Keywords: Indonesian War of Independence, Netherlands, insurgency, counter- insurgency, police actions, strategy, operations, tactics, Dutch army Introduction Analyses of counter-insurgency operations mostly concentrate on the well- known conflicts – the French and Americans in Vietnam, the British in Malaya and Kenya, the French in Algeria, the Portuguese in Angola and Mozambique, the Ian Smith government in Rhodesia, the South Africans in Namibia, et cetera.

Zwinkels M.A. M.A. programme Colonial and Global History Institute for History, Leiden University Index Introduction 1 Chapter 1: International relations in a time of war 13 Chapter 2: Dutch planning from 1942 until 15 August 1945 25 Chapter 3: Outcomes and adjustments. 15 August 1945 until March 1946 37 Chapter 4: KNIL soldiers' opinions in letters and egodocuments 51 Conclusion 65 List of abbreviations 69 Bibliography 70 Introduction The Netherlands East Indies were occupied by the Japanese army between 1942 and 1945. Many soldiers of the Koninklijk Nederlands-Indisch Leger (KNIL, Royal Netherlands Indies Army) were captured as prisoners of war (POW). These people were used as forced labourers, like the Japanese did with Indonesian workers (romusha) later during the war. Shortly after the start of the occupation, the Dutch colonial government and army command went into exile. The former established a Dutch camp in Brisbane, Australia as a government-in-exile, while the latter settled in Colombo, Ceylon (Sri Lanka). These colonial leaders were preparing for the post-war situation. They mainly focused on how to restore colonial rule in the Netherlands East Indies. This included re-establishment of the colonial army. The KNIL was established in 1830 and consisted of Dutch, other European and locally recruited Indonesian soldiers. A little over 90,000 soldiers served in the KNIL in 1942. The KNIL failed to defend the Netherlands East Indies during the Japanese attack in 1941 and 1942 and surrendered on 8 March 1942.
