Indonesian War of Independence

The Indonesian War of Independence was a relatively brief conflict between the Republic of Indonesia and one of the last remnants of the Dutch Empire - the Dutch East Indies.
Much of the war was a rapid success for the Indonesian rebels, with the Dutch unable for the most part to regain any foothold on their former colony. The bloodiest time of the war was when Indonesian forces fought the remnants of the Dutch East Indies military and their Indo allies in Western New Guinea.
The success of the Indonesian rebels saw an end to the Dutch presence in south-east Asia and Oceania. It also saw Indonesia become an ideological battleground between four separate ideologies, leading eventually to the Indonesian Revolution.
