Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta read the proclamation of Indonesian independence in Jakarta after Japan’s surrender. The declaration asserted Indonesian sovereignty; Dutch attempts to restore colonial control were resisted through revolution, diplomacy, and mass mobilization. International pressure and UN involvement later helped bring the Dutch-Indonesian conflict to a negotiated transfer of sovereignty in 1949.
