Estimates range around half a million.
Suharto then seized power from his predecessor, the first president of Indonesia Sukarno.
For this, he used some force, but also took some political maneuvers.
At the time, there was instability and unrest inside and outside of Indonesia.
This helped him come to power.
He took three decades to change the regime to work along militarist lines, with a strong central government.
His movement was known as "Orde Baru".
As he took an anti-communist position which he could defend, several Western governments supported him both in economic and political matters.
This was during an era that is known as Cold War.
For most of his three-decade rule, Indonesia experienced significant economic growth and industrialization.
His rule, however, led to political purges and the deaths of about half a million of suspected Indonesian communists; many of them Chinese-Indonesians.
He also made some laws against communist parties and ethnic Chinese.
His New Order administration's authoritarian and increasingly corrupt practices led to much discontent in the 1990s.
Suharto's almost unquestioned authority over Indonesian affairs slipped dramatically when the Asian financial crisis lowered Indonesians' standard of living.
People inside the military and other institutions no longer supported him.
There were some problems inside the country during the early 1990s.
Suharto became more and more isolated, in a political way.
After  mass demonstrations in 1998, Suharto was forced to resign.
Suharto had been the face of Indonesia for over 30 years.
After retiring, he lived in seclusion.
There were people who wanted to try him for genocide.
This failed however, because he had a very bad health.
His legacy remains hotly debated and contested both in Indonesia and abroad.
Like many Javanese, Suharto has only one name.
In contexts where his religion is being discussed he is sometimes called Haji or el-Haj Mohammed Suharto, but this Islamic title is not part of his formal name or generally used.
The spelling "Suharto" has been official in Indonesia since 1947 but the older spelling Soeharto is still frequently used.
Suharto was admitted to hospital on January 4; on 23 January, Suharto's health worsened further, as a sepsis infection spread through his body.
His family consented to the removal of life support machines if his condition did not improve and he died on 27 January at 1:09 pm.
He died at Pertamina Hospital in Jakarta, Indonesia of congestive heart failure.
He was taken off life support.
He was buried at a family mausoleum near Solo town.
Sukarno, Suharto and Sarwo Edhie Wibowo/Slaughter of Indonesian "Communists"
The balance of power was shifted in favour of anti-Communists in December 1965, when personnel from both the Army Para-commando Regiment and 5th Brawijaya Military Region units arrived in Bali after having carried out killings in Java.
Led by Suharto's principal troubleshooter, Sarwo Edhie Wibowo who with Javanese military commanders permitted Balinese squads (led by Anwar Congo, Adi Zulkadry, Safit Pardede) to kill until reined in.
In contrast to Central Java where the Army encouraged people to kill the "Gestapu", Bali's eagerness to kill was so tremendous and spontaneous that, having provided logistic support initially, the Army eventually had to step in to prevent chaos.
Sukarno's choice of Bali's provincial governor, Suteja, was recalled from office and accused of preparing a communist uprising, and his relatives were tracked down and killed.
A series of killings similar to those in Central and East Java were led by black-shirted PNI youth.
For several months, militia death squads went through villages capturing suspects and taking them away.
Hundreds of houses belonging to communists and their relatives were burnt down within one week of the reprisal crusade, with occupants being butchered as they ran from their homes.
An early estimate suggested that 50,000 people, including women and children, were killed in this operation alone.
The population of several Balinese villages were halved in the last months of 1965.
All the Chinese shops in the towns of Singaraja and Denpasar were destroyed and many of their owners who were alleged to have financially supported the "Gestapu" killed.
Between December 1965 and early 1966, an estimated 80,000 Balinese were killed, roughly 5% of the island's population at the time, and proportionally more than anywhere else in Indonesia.
Most of the people killed had little to do with Communist Party or other allegations thrown at them.
Sukarno continued to command loyalty from large sections of the armed forces as well as the general population, and Suharto was careful not to be seen to be seizing power in his own coup.
For eighteen months following the quashing of the 30 September Movement, there was a complicated process of political manoeuvres against Sukarno, including student agitation, stacking of parliament, media propaganda and military threats.
In January 1966, university students under the banner of KAMI, begin demonstrations against the Sukarno government voicing demands for the disbandment of PKI and control of hyperinflation.
The students received support and protection from the army.
Street fights broke out between the students and pro-Sukarno loyalists with the pro-Suharto students prevailing due to army protection.
In February 1966, Sukarno promoted Suharto to lieutenant-general (and to full general in July 1966).
The killing of a student demonstrator and Sukarno's order for the disbandment of KAMI in February 1966 further galvanised public opinion against the president.
On 11 March 1966, the appearance of unidentified troops around Merdeka Palace during a cabinet meeting (which Suharto had not attended) forced Sukarno to flee to Bogor Palace (60 km away) by helicopter.
Three pro-Suharto generals, Major-General Basuki Rahmat, Brigadier-General M Jusuf, and Brigadier-General Amirmachmud went to Bogor to meet Sukarno.
There, they persuaded and secured a presidential decree from Sukarno (see Supersemar) that gave Suharto authority to take any action necessary to maintain security.
Using the Supersemar letter, Suharto ordered the banning of PKI the following day and proceeded to purge pro-Sukarno elements from the parliament, the government and military, accusing them of being communist sympathisers.
The army arrested 15 cabinet ministers and forced Sukarno to appoint a new cabinet consisting of Suharto supporters.
The army arrested pro-Sukarno and pro-communist members of the MPRS (parliament), and Suharto replaced chiefs of the navy, air force, and the police force with his supporters, who then began an extensive purge within each service.
In June 1966, the now-purged parliament passed 24 resolutions including the banning of Marxism–Leninism, ratifying the Supersemar, and stripping Sukarno of his title of President for Life.
Against the wishes of Sukarno, the government ended the Konfrontasi with Malaysia and rejoined the United Nations (Sukarno had removed Indonesia from the UN in the previous year).
Suharto did not seek Sukarno's outright removal at this MPRS session due to the remaining support for the president among some elements of the armed forces.
By January 1967, Suharto felt confident that he had removed all significant support for Sukarno within the armed forces, and the MPRS decided to hold another session to impeach Sukarno.
On 22 February 1967, Sukarno announced he would resign from the presidency, and on 12 March, the MPRS session stripped him of his remaining power and named Suharto acting president.
Sukarno was placed under house arrest in Bogor Palace; little more was heard from him, and he died in near seclusion in June 1970.
The Lasting Legacy of Suharto (at BBC)
AG), was a group of German chemical companies formed in 1925.
Farben is German for "paints", "dyes", or "colors".
Initially most of these companies produced dyes, but soon began to do more advanced chemistry.
The founding of IG Farben was a reaction to Germany's defeat in World War I. IG Farben held a near total monopoly on chemical production.
IG was the company which produced chemical weapons which were available to the Wehrmacht in WWII.
These included nerve gases which were never used against the allied armies for the reason that the Allies were though to have the same capability.
However, Zyklon B was used in the Holocaust to murder Jewish prisoners.
The SS was an authorized applier of the chemical.
Sukarno (6 June 1901 – 21 June 1970) was the first President of Indonesia.
He helped the country win its independence from the Netherlands.
He was President from 1945 to 1967, presiding with mixed success over the country's rough switch to independence.
Sukarno was forced to resign by one of his generals, Suharto.
Suharto formally became President in March 1967.
The spelling "Sukarno" has been official in Indonesia since 1947.
It is still common to see the older spelling Soekarno, mainly because he signed his name with the old spelling.
Official Indonesian presidential decrees from 1947-1968, however, printed his name using the 1947 spelling.
Indonesians also remember him as Bung Karno or ''Pak'' Karno.
Like many Javanese people, he had only one name; in religious contexts, he was occasionally referred to as 'Achmad Sukarno'.

The Aeolian Islands is an archipelago of seven islands, which are north of Sicilly.
About 13.000 people live on the islands, which belong to Italy.
The biggest of the islands is Lipari.
For this reason, the islands are also known as Lipari islands.
There are two active volcanoes on these islands, called Stromboli and Vulcano.
Stromboli is the only volcano that is active all the time.
The volcano on Vulcan is called Grande Fossa.
It is dormant or slightly active.
It is considered to be one of the most dangerous volcanoes in Europe.
The islands have been inhabited since the Stone Age.
They were important for the obsidian that can be found there.
In geology, volcanology (also spelled vulcanology) is the part of geology that studies volcanoes, lava, magma, and other related things.
The term volcanology comes from the Latin word vulcan, the Roman god of fire.
A volcanologist is a person who studies volcanoes and their eruptions.
Volcanologists visit volcanoes often, especially active ones.
This makes it a dangerous science.
They analyze physical and chemical variations related to historical and current activity of the volcanoes.

Industrialisation (or industrialization) is a process that happens in countries when they start to use machines to do work that was once done by people.
Industrialisation changes the things people do.
Industrialisation caused towns to grow larger.
Many people left farming to take higher paid jobs in factories in towns.
Industrialisation is part of a process where people adopt easier and cheaper ways to make things.
Using better technology, it becomes possible to produce more goods in a shorter amount of time.
More things can be produced by fewer people.
After industrialisation people also do more specialised jobs.
For example before industrialisation, a cobbler made the whole shoe.
He worked on one pair of shoes, finished that, and then did the next pair of shoes.
Industrial shoemaking involves many people in making shoes in a factory.
An individual worker has a smaller task, however.
One person cuts the sole of the shoe.
Another person stitches it on.
In short there is division of labour.
They make even more shoes when they use cutting machines, sewing machines and other special machines.
The factory may be owned by a rich person who can afford the machines, or by a company.
Industrialisation started in England with the industrial revolution in the 18th century.
It spread first to parts of Europe, and to North America.
In the 20th century industrialisation spread to most other countries.

The Nile Delta () is the delta formed in Northern Egypt (Lower Egypt) where the Nile River spreads out and drains into the Mediterranean Sea.
It is one of the world's largest river deltas—from Alexandria in the west to Port Said in the east, it covers some 240 km of Mediterranean coastline—and is a rich agricultural region.
From north to south the delta is approximately 160 km in length.
Dams at Aswan farther upstream on the Nile have stopped further addition of the silt that built the delta in past centuries.
Because of this, the delta is shrinking.
Shape and composition
The Nile Delta has a Mediterranean climate, characterized by little rainfall.
Only 100 to 200 mm of rain falls on the delta area during an average year, and most of this falls in the winter months.
The delta experiences its hottest temperatures in July and August, averaging 30 °C, with a  maximum of around 48 °C.
Winter temperatures are normally in the range of 5° to 10 °C.
The Nile Delta region becomes quite humid during the summer months.
The Nile Delta is currently eroding.

Millau Viaduct is a large bridge in Millau, France in the Département of Aveyron.
It was designed by the French structural engineer Michel Virlogeux and British architect Sir Norman Foster.
Before the bridge was built, traffic had to go down into the valley of the Tarn river and pass along the national route N9 near the town of Millau, causing heavy congestion at the beginning and end of the July and August vacation season.
The bridge now crosses the Tarn valley above its lowest point, linking the Causse du Larzac to the Causse Rouge, and is inside the perimeter of the Grands Causses regional natural park.
The bridge forms the last link of the A75 autoroute, (la Méridienne) from Clermont-Ferrand to Béziers.
The A75, with the A10 and A71, provides a continuous high-speed route south from Paris through Clermont-Ferrand to the Languedoc region and through to Spain, considerably reducing the cost of vehicle traffic traveling along this route.
Many tourists heading to southern France and Spain follow this route because it is direct and without tolls for the 340 km between Clermont-Ferrand and Pézenas, except for the bridge itself.
Shemale (also she-male) is a slang word.

The Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church (in German: Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche, but mostly just known as Gedächtniskirche ), known in English as the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, is a ruined church in Berlin.
It belongs to the Protestant Evangelical Church in Germany
Mosaics inside the church showed the life and work of Emperor Wilhelm I. During World War II, the church was destroyed during a British RAF bombing raid in 1943.
The only remainder of the old building is the ruin of the belfry, which is also called  ("the hollow tooth").
After the war, from 1951 to 1961, a new church was built right next to the site of the old one.
the new church was designed by Egon Eiermann.
The new church has a cross made of nails from the old Coventry Cathedral, destroyed by German Luftwaffe bomb attacks in what was called the Coventry Blitz.
It was consecrated on May 25, 1962, the same day as the new Coventry Cathedral.
Both churches were built next to the ruins of the old building, which were kept as reminders of the horrors of war.
As well as the Coventry cross, the Gedächtniskirche has a cross of the Russian Orthodox Church and a design known as the Stalingrad Madonna by Lieutenant Kurt Reuber, created in December 1942 in Stalingrad (now Volgograd), as symbols of peace between the three countries that were once at war.
In December 2007, Charles Jeffrey Gray, a former British pilot who carried out World War II bombing raids over Germany, joined a campaign to rescue the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church from decay.
After reading about the condition of the Church, Gray contacted Wolfgang Kuhla, the chairman of the church's advisory board, asking for its tower be restored.
A fund was launched to help raise the costs of its repair.

Catherine Zeta-Jones CBE (born 25 September 1969) is an Academy Award-winning Welsh actress living in the United States.
She started acting at in theatre when she was young.
After this, she has many small role British and American television and movies.
She became a famous actor once she start acting in Hollywood movies such as The Phantom, The Mask of Zorro, and Entrapment in the late 1990s.
She won Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for acting as Velma Kelly in 2002 movie Chicago.
She is the first and only Welsh actress to win that award.
Zeta-Jones is married to American actor Michael Douglas, with whom she shares a birthday.
They have two children - Dylan (named after Dylan Thomas) and Carys.
Adams was born in Randalstown in what is now Northern Ireland.
His parents were from a very strict Christian sect called the Plymouth Brethren - and they believed that what ever they did in life, they would go to heaven anyway.
He had one brother, William, born in 1903.
His father died in 1914 and Adams was brought up by his mother.
The family moved to Belfast but in 1918 William died from flu.
Adams studied medicine at university.
Adams worked for one year in a hospital in Bristol.
He then moved to Eastbourne, England where he became a general practitioner.
He cared for a lot of old female patients and many of them were very rich.
132 left him money or gifts when they died.
Rumours started that Adams was killing them with heroin and morphine and the police decided to investigate.
Many of the possible victims had been cremated (burnt), so there were few bodies for the police to analyse.
Adams was arrested and tried for the murder of one patient in 1957, but found not guilty.
Another charge was withdrawn - an event the judge later criticised.
The trial was reported in newspapers around the world and was described at the time as "one of the greatest murder trials of all time".
Claims of unfairness
Some have claimed that the trial was not held fairly.
Police files show that the prosecution gave secret records to the defence to help them defend Adams.
Evidence (some notebooks written by the patient's nurses) was lost by the prosecution and then found later by the defence.
When it was produced during the trial, the prosecution pretended that it had never seen it.
Also, the case that was chosen (Mrs Morrell) was probably one of the least likely to succeed.
One historian claims that the government did not want Adams to be convicted, because he would then have been hanged.
If this had happened, many doctors would have refused to treat government (NHS) patients and the government would have become very unpopular.
Other crimes
He had his license to be a doctor taken away in 1957 but it was given back in 1961.
He was banned for life from prescribing dangerous drugs.
Even though he was found not guilty, most experts now consider him to have been a serial killer.
The judge in his trial later wrote a book in which he said Adams was probably guilty.
The police thought that Adams killed 163 of his patients.

Girolamo Savonarola (21 September 1452 – 23 May 1498), was an Italian Dominican priest and leader of Florence from 1494 until his execution in 1498.
Savonarola is famous for burning books, and for the destruction of what he considered immoral art.
Savonarola was a priest but he preached against the moral corruption of the clergy and the Church of Rome.
His main enemy was Pope Alexander VI.
He is sometimes seen as a forerunner of Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation, however he remained a devout Roman Catholic.
In the twentieth century, a movement for the canonization of "Frà Savonarola" began to develop within the Roman Catholic Church, particularly among Dominicans.
Many believe that his excommunication and execution were not legal.
However, his beatification and canonization is opposed by many Jesuits, who think Savonarola's attacks on the papacy to have been a serious crime.
In his youth he studied the Bible, and then went to the University of Ferrara.
He wrote two poems which showed his anger at morally corrupt clergymen.
The first, about the end of the world, was written when he was only 20.
Savonarola wrote the second poem "De Ruina Mundi" ("On the Downfall of the World") in 1475.
In this poem he said the Roman Curia was "a false, proud whore".
Savonarola became a Dominican friar in 1475, and entered the convent of San Domenico in Bologna.
He studied theology.
In 1479 he went to the convent of Santa Maria degli Angeli.
In 1482 the Dominicans sent him to Florence, the ‘city of his destiny’.
After five years, he went back to Bologna where he became 'master of studies’.
He returned to Florence in 1490 and began to preach about the end of the world.
He had visions and prophecies which he said had come to him from God and the saints.
Several disasters made his prophecies real.
He spoke about the failing power of the ruling Medici family.
Savonarola never tried to make war on the Roman Curia.
He wanted to put an end to the sins of the popes who cared more about their riches and power than they did about God .
After Charles VIII of France invaded Florence in 1494, the ruling Medici were removed.
Savonarola became the new leader of the city, both as a secular leader and priest.
He set up a rather modern democratic republic in Florence.
Savonarola wanted to make Florence a city devoted to God, a good “Christian and religious Republic.”
Homosexuality had been acceptable in Florence, and many were important people.
One of Savonarola's first laws was to make sodomy a crime which would be punished by death.
In 1497, he and his followers went to the Piazza della Signoria, and began to burn mirrors, cosmetics, obscene pictures, pagan books, gaming tables, musical instruments, fine dresses, women’s hats, and the works of immoral and ancient poets.
They also burnt paintings by some famous artists, such as Sandro Botticelli and Michelangelo.
This event is now called the "Bonfire of the Vanities".
Florence soon became tired of Savonarola.
The city had become an unhappy place to live.
Savonarola's promises that God would change things in the city did not come true, and his predictions of the end of the world did not happen.
During his Ascension Day sermon on May 4, 1497, groups of young men rioted in the streets, people began singing and dancing, and the taverns reopened.
The riot became a revolution.
Excommunication and execution
On May 13, 1497, Savonarola was excommunicated by Pope Alexander VI.
In 1498, Alexander demanded his arrest and execution.
On April 8, soldiers attacked the Convent of San Marco and after a bloody battle Savonarola's guards and religious supporters were killed.
He surrendered and during the next few weeks was tortured to make him say that he was gulity of heresy, corruption, and other crimes against the Church.
On the day of his execution he was taken out to the Piazza della Signoria with Fra Silvestro and Fra Domenico da Pescia, two religious friends of Savonarola.
They were stripped of their clerical clothing, and called heretics and schismatics.
The three men were put on crosses,and burned alive.
Savonarola died in the same place where he had burnt the paintings and books.
Niccolò Machiavelli, author of The Prince, also saw and wrote about the execution.
The Medici soon retook control of Florence.
