The Netherlands transferred sovereignty to the Republic of the United States of Indonesia after four years of revolution and international pressure. The agreement excluded West New Guinea from the transfer, leaving a major colonial dispute unresolved. Indonesians had declared independence in 1945; 1949 marked Dutch recognition and a negotiated settlement, not the beginning of Indonesian independence.
