The most basic problem was that the kingdoms in Indonesia at that time cooperated with the Dutch to make profits without thinking about the fate of their people. If the kingdoms did not cooperate, of course the Dutch would not easily dominate the archipelago. That is why the kings, regents and officials at that time were employees of the Dutch kingdom. Indeed, the kingdoms in the archipelago were under the domination of western nations but not with their people. There have been rebellions everywhere led by various people who were later raised as heroes.

A well-made video. Do notice that it wasn't the Dutch Republic that ruled all Indonesians. Most of what is now Indonesia came under Dutch control after the colonial wars the Dutch fought over the course of the 19th century.

Apparently there is a saying in Bahasa: Bagai Belanda minta tanah.

Direct translate: Like the Dutch asking for lands.

The metaphor is that when you give someone little they want more, when you gave more they want everything.

Malaya and Singapore: Sucks being colonized...

Indonesia: First time?

The story in missing an important thing. The Portugese were bringing the spices to Europe from around the world and the Dutch were redistributing the spices to the rest of Europe. After the personal union of Spain and Portugal, Spain did not allow the Dutch to buy spices in Portugal. So they started to get the spices themselves. As many Dutch captains had worked for the Portugese it wasnt hard to find the lucrative Portugese colonies.

The reason why the Dutch easily conquered the Southeast Asian kingdom was because the impact of mini World War in the Indian Ocean called "War of the League of Indies" prior to the Dutch arrival into the region. Its basically a War between Islamic Nation along the Indian Ocean as well as Ottoman Empire vs Spanish Empire as well as Portuguese. The war was so big, it made some indonesian sultanates became exhausted due to war financing etc. The war claimed many resources throughout Islamic World.

League Of Indies :
- Sultanate of Bijapur
- Sultanate of Ahmadnagar
- Sultanate of Aceh
- Sultanate of Bantam (Banten)
- Sultanate of Kalinyamat (Demak)
- Sultanate of Ternate
- Sultanate of Tidore
- Zamorin of Calicut
- Sultanate of Golkonda
- Ottoman Empire

Vs

Spanish Empire and its Allies:
- Portugal
- Sultanate of Johor
- Sunda Pajajaran Kingdom

Ps: This war resulted the Fall of Malacca, Portuguese Annexation of Calicut as well as Goa, Weakened the Sultanate of Banten and Tidore due to war, Rise of Johor Riau Empire, Civil war in Java, Mughal Invasion of Southern Indian Muslim Sultanates, Lost of Portuguese influence in the Western part of Java and Sumatra, Christianization of Islands of Lesser Sunda and Southern Moluccas, Islamization of Former Hindu Sunda Pajajaran Kingdom in West Java as well as the lost of Ottoman influence in the region. The war occured in December 1570 - 1575

Both on my fathers side and my mothers side my family is connected to the Dutch East Indies. A great-grandfather from mothers side served in the Dutch colonial army before and during World War 2. My Fathers family was originally German but had moved to the Dutch East Indies centuries ago. They had mixed with the Indonesian population.

However my great grandfather and his family were kicked out after Independence. To me his son, my grandfather, looks Indonesian but i guess they weren't Indonesian enough. Probably didn't help they were catholic and had kept their German surname. Although i am somewhat sad technically the nation or institution that my family was so connected to doesn't exist any more, we are prabably better of. Now we are just Dutch people again, and my looks are Dutch enough only people with Indonesian roots themselves can still spot the difference.

Thanks for the video!!! just want to give some corrections to the spellings (& pronounciations) of Indonesian locations (in Indonesian) though :
3:58 Bantam is really old so most Indonesians probably don't even know what Bantam is nowadays it's called banten and it refers to west-most province in the island of Java
4:30 actually my first time hearing that name, we just call it the Ambon Island though
6:40 I know it's spelled Aceh but Indonesian pronounce C as 'Ch' instead of a 'K' like english does so it's pronounced 'Acheh' if you are an english native
6:42 this isn't about spelling but you put Makassar up north mate, it's at the southern tip of the celebes island

And some other wrong pronounciations that I'm too lazy to point out and make corrections, but anyway this is a really informative video! thank you very much!

In between the Indonesian declaration of independence in 1945 and Dutch recognition of that independence in 1949, a bloody colonial war was fought, the biggest untill the Vietnam War but with much less aircraft.

[caffemocca]

"Indonesia" didn't even exist back then. The Dutch ironically created Indonesia lol.

Me, an Indonesian: It's true. All of it.

To this day every Dutchman still starts twitching when he smells spices.

We don't use it though, we just want to sell it.

[Yourhighnessnona]

I am a product of this ^^ Well actually, my dad is Surinamese/Javanese and my mother is Indonesian/Dutch/German

For make clearance, Cornelius de Houtman actually first landed on the coastal port-city of Banten that was under Sultanate of Banten in 1596, later departed from there into Bali in 1597 after having quarrels with the Sultan himself for being suspicious and then ousted by the native officer and Portuguese trader.
