Actually no, this can be seen in the next update Thanks!

This is a very nice timeline. I'll be folowing. I wonder what Obama would be doing outside the cabinet?

Will we yet to see the coat of arms? :D

From Djakarta, yes, but it was broadcasted live only in Java. Only the most anti-Japanese owns a wireless actually, study groups and pesantren madrasahs for example.

9. The Buitenzorg Conference, pt. 1 - The Assembly Governor General Hubertus Johannes van Mook had a busy September in 1945. He was still in Brisbane, but he had to keep in touch with his men in Djakarta and with his superiors in The Hague. At least, the situation in the ground was going...

Well, for now ;)

The Great Calm The power vacuum left behind after Japanese surrender in the Netherlands East Indies was remarkably different than in other places in Asia. While other places saw violence, here there was silence. It was not stability as thieves and bandits were rampant, but overall there was...

I'm more of a Murba fan, sorry :p The OTL proposals were made with haste, resulting in vague and broad concepts. Their main aim was to lure the republicans to the bargaining table and/or appease the world. In addition the hostile position between the Dutch and the Republic meant there can be...

I presume you want the PoD to be around the Soekarno era? The PKI is huge, but its powerbase, and its members, lie in the undereducated agrarian class. They are in no way the only communists in the nation, but they are the more flammable one. The Murba is another communist party, although...

Will independence be before or after 1900?

Given Majapahit's feudal nature, I'm not sure that they will build Australia. Maybe they'll just fund it, and corruption will run rampant in this colony. Also, the whole of Australia is just difficult to defend. Even if Majapahit goes strong, it will probably end up like a second China.

Keep them coming. I for one seriously can't wait for independence. It'll have serious consequences on other colonial powers, a challenge for their claims of "educating the natives".

China would have probably changed their minds the way things are going. But with Soviets losing become more and more imminant, the US will be less and less willing to compromise. Taiwan seems to be the only stumbling block here. Has Deng advocated diplomatic unification yet by this point? The...

Go go Hashemites go! This keeps getting messier and messier for the Saudis.

Well, I believe the PKI can't suffer a fate worse than OTL, really :p

The Collaborationist The HMS Cumberland arriving in Tandjoeng Priok Harbor, Djakarta The smell of the sea reminded Mohammad Hatta of the year 1932. It was the year he crossed the sea to return home after eleven years in Europe. There he made a name for himself, achieving a doctorandus*degree...

Thanks! It is because I'm trying to use TTL Indonesian historiography. ITTL with Indonesia achieving independence via peaceful means, we will avoid the OTL Bersiap period, where the Republic launched a crusade to eliminate traces of Dutch culture. Here I use Dutch spelling, and even...

The Father Soekarno Soekarno (born June 6, 1901 -- died August 21, 1945) was a political theorist, architect and leader of the Indonesian independence movement. He was the first person, although controversially, to be awarded as a National Hero of Indonesia. His political thinking...

The Father There will still be rebellions, but I reckon there woul be more stability

The whole idea of Konfrontasi was to prevent the formation of Malaysia. It was also officially not a plan to annex North Malaysia but to "liberate" the people of Sabah, Sarawak and Brunei. It was mainly a ploy by Soekarno to make Indonesians forget about their empty wallets and stomachs, which...
