OTL, the British occupied the core parts of the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia0 during the Napoleonic wars and considered annexing the Dutch East Indies outright. Assuming that for whatever reason this went through (well, whatever reason that isn't a Napoleonic victory, which is the best way for...

It just came into my knowledge that when Sukarno was exiled by Dutch colonial government to the remote town of Ende in Flores, he had contracted a chronic strain of malaria during an outbreak around the region. He was seriously ill that even his associate in Volksraad (People's Council), M. H...

Pretty much exactly what the title says: make Indonesia much more powerful and prominent than it was IOTL. Bonus points for colonies.

What it says on the tin. In particular I'm wondering if Indonesia would be bigger and more powerful under the British.

The republic of Lanfang was a state established by Chinese miners on the island of Borneo. It was one of, if not the first republic in East Asia and possibly the first modern democratic republic in the world. OTL Lanfang was conquered by the Dutch in 1884. Can you keep them independent for...

In the OTL, Indonesia becomes independent in 1945. So what if in this AH scenario by some event, Indonesia or at least one of the major Indonesian states won their independence against the Dutch rule before 1900s? So, was it possible for Indonesia or any Indonesian state to be independent from...

Wait, what’s this? This was inspired by my previous timeline with a similar premise. If you haven’t read it, this timeline going to show the effects of a communist uprising in Indonesia during the 1960s, which in our timeline was prevented down thanks to a certain General Suharto. What I want...

With a PoD after 1848, what would be the earliest possible date for the independence of Indonesia? Alternatively, at what other dates could independence have been achieved? A few important notes: Sarawak, North Borneo and Brunei all have to be part of this independent Indonesia, or at least...

Just as the title says, Aceh was one of the major powers in Sumatra and Malacca straits until they're conquered by the Dutch in 1904. For sake of the topic here, what'll be the best case-scenario for Aceh? Will it be independent country, not part of modern-Indonesia? Or perhaps, Aceh will be...

IOTL, Brazil was somewhat neglected for a long time as a Portuguese colony, with the Portuguese chipping away at its coast enough to import slaves and grow sugarcane but otherwise not doing much to conquer the interior, focusing instead on controlling trade in India and Indonesia. What if...

As the title says, what happens if the Aceh Sultanate have united the Indonesian archipelago under its rule, whether it be through conquests or shrewd diplomacy, no different from Srivijaya and Majapahit? How would this Aceh-led Indonesia affected on the world? What name will be given to this...

Like the title says, let's say the Ottomans managed to acquire Indonesia, one way or another, either wrested control from the Dutch or the Turks got wank. How would the lands of Indonesia under the Ottoman rule would looked like? Will it be known as Turkish East Indies or some other name?

When I was reading more about the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, I read saw two unifinished articles call the Kingdom of Malaya and the East Indies Kingdom, which is modern Malaysia, and Indonesia. My question is, did the Japanese actually planned this, and if so, who would be ruling...

Chapter I: A Midnight Call ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my first timeline so sorry if I'm mistaken in some of this stories! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 30th September 1965, 23.45 P.M A knock is heard at...

Indonesia's foolish actions in Timor escalated into a full war between them, the Timorese (and later Papuan) rebels that eventually ended up involving Australia. Is there any way this could've been avoided?

What if there was never a Demak invasion, and the Majapahit survives as a former shadow of itself. The Majapahit remains majority Hindu, and survives to the European Colonization, but is able to stay independent. How would the Remnant of the Majapahit react to European contact and trade? Note...

I've just gone through a Socialist awakening courtesy of Youtube and my Sociology teacher. Seeing the current state of my homeland, with wealth inequality that's both overt and covert, I can't help but wonder what would happen if Sutan Sjahrir, a personal hero of mine as well as the founder of...

So, assume that the Majapahit Empire doesn't collapse, and/or that Indonesia stays more-or-less united under the hegemony of one island state till, say, the late 16th century. How would this affect relations between Europe and the East Indies? What happens to Portuguese history? With more...

From 1934 onwards Sukarno, leader of the Indonesian nationalists, was exiled from Java to first Flores and from 1938 to Bencoolen, on Sumatra. After the war with Japan broke out according to some sources Sukarno requested to be transported back to Java. He had written very negatively about...

I've been wondering about the scenario for awhile. What could've happened or been done prior to 1998 to prevent Suharto's fall in May of that year? Let's say he still lives until near the date of his OTL death, would he have retired some time in the 2000s? Even handwaving any attempts to oust...
