📅 7 Desèmber 1975 📍 Indonesia

Indonesian forces invaded East Timor, beginning a 24-year occupation. The invasion came after the territory’s brief declaration of independence and was enabled by international acquiescence and Cold War calculations. Timorese communities experienced mass violence, displacement, and famine; the UN continued to recognize Portugal as the administering power and called for self-determination.
