The Proclamation of Indonesian Independence (Indonesian: Proklamasi Kemerdekaan Indonesia, or simply Proklamasi)
was read at 10.00 a.m. on Friday, August 17, 1945. The declaration
marked the start of the diplomatic and armed-resistance of the
Indonesian National Revolution, fighting against the forces of the
Netherlands and pro-Dutch civilians, until the latter officially
acknowledged Indonesia's independence in 1949. In 2005, the Netherlands
declared that they had decided to accept de facto 17 August 1945 as
Indonesia's independence date.
In a 2013 interview the Indonesian historian Sukotjo, amongst others,
asked the Dutch government to formally acknowledge the date of
independence as August 17, 1945. The United Nations, who mediated in the
conflict, formally acknowledge the date of independence as 27 December
1949.
