  • How Did America Inspire Indonesian Revolution?
    How Did America Inspire Indonesian Revolution? I Basis Susilo & Annisa Pratamasari Universitas Airlangga ABSTRACT This paper examines the American Revolution as an inspiration for Indonesia’s founding fathers to fight for their nation’s independence in 1945. This paper was sparked by the existence of the pamphlet ‘It’s 1776 in Indonesia’ published in 1948 in the United States which presupposes the link between Indonesian Revolution and the American Revolution. The basic assumption of this paper is that Indonesian founding fathers were inspired by the experiences of other nations, including the Americans who abolished the British colonization of 13 colonies in North American continent in the eigthenth century. American inspiration on the struggle for Indonesian independence was examined from the spoken dan written words of three Indonesian founding fathers: Achmad Soekarno, Mohamad Hatta, and Soetan Sjahrir. This examination produced two findings. First, the two Indonesian founding fathers were inspired by the United States in different capacities. Compared to Hatta and Sjahrir, Soekarno referred and mentioned the United States more frequent. Second, compared to the inspirations from other nations, American inspiration for the three figures was not so strong. This was because the liberal democratic system and the American-chosen capitalist system were not the best alternative for Soekarno, Hatta, and Sjahrir. Therefore, the massive exposition of the 1776 Revolution in 1948 was more of a tactic on the Indonesian struggle to achieve its national objectives at that time, as it considered the United States as the most decisive international post-World War II political arena. Keywords: United States, Indonesia, Revolution, Inspiration, Soekarno, Hatta, Sjahrir.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)“ . If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in “sectioning" the material. It is customary tc begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from “ photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • THE YEAR AHEAD No One Living in Malaya Can Complain That 1956 Was a Dull Uneventful Year. on 1St January, 1956 the Tungku Sailed
    1 THE YEAR AHEAD No one living in Malaya can complain that 1956 was a dull uneventful year. On 1st January, 1956 the Tungku sailed to London in quest for Merdeka. March, the Tungku returned to Malacca where he announced to a crowd of over 100,000 Malayans mostly Malays who had come from all parts of Malaya that the Federation would get Merdeka by 31st August, 1957. Ever since then, all political leaders in the Federation have been marking time, waiting for August, 1957, before they settle their differences of views and policy with the present leadership of UMNO and the Alliance. And this is true of political leaders both in and out of the Alliance. Compared to Singapore the Federation has had a quiet year. Over and above the usual "Emergency" news, the swift and firm flushout of the Chung Ling High School students was the only big local event, as against two riots in Singapore. On March 18th the Merdeka rally at Kallang Airport when the famous platform symbolically collapsed underneath David Marshall and sparked off the first. On October 24th, flush out of the Chinese High School and the Chung Cheng High School sparked off the second. But the failure of Singapore Merdeka talks in May did not spark off a riot, a tribute to the restraining influence of the leaders in Singapore. lky\1956\lky1200.doc 2 But it was the world-shaking events in Egypt and Hungary that will go down in history as the great events of last year. The brutal Anglo-French-Israeli invasion of Egypt shocked and angered the whole non-European world.
