1. dutch east indies

   The Dutch East Indies was a colonial empire established and managed by the Dutch in Southeast Asia. It was founded in the early 17th century and it covered what is now Indonesia. The Dutch administered the region through the Dutch East India Company until its dissolution in the late 18th century, then through the government of the Netherlands until its independence in 1945, after which it became the Republic of Indonesia. The Dutch East Indies was rich in resources like spices, coffee, tea, tobacco, rubber, sugar and oil.

1. Dutch East Indies

   The Dutch East Indies was a Dutch colony that became modern Indonesia following World War II. It was formed from the nationalised colonies of the Dutch East India Company, which came under the administration of the Dutch government in 1800. During the 19th century, Dutch possessions and hegemony were expanded, reaching their greatest territorial extent in the early 20th century. This colony which later formed modern-day Indonesia was one of the most valuable European colonies under the Dutch Empire's rule, and contributed to Dutch global prominence in spice and cash crop trade in the 19th to early 20th century. The colonial social order was based on rigid racial and social structures with a Dutch elite living separate but linked to their native subjects. The term "Indonesia" came into use for the geographical location after 1880. In the early 20th century, local intellectuals began developing the concept of Indonesia as a nation state, and set the stage for an independence movement. Japan's World War II occupation dismantled much of the Dutch colonial state and economy. Following the Japanese surrender in August 1945, Indonesian nationalists declared independence which they fought to secure during the subsequent Indonesian National Revolution. The Netherlands formally recognized Indonesian sovereignty at the 1949 Dutch–Indonesian Round Table Conference with the exception of the Netherlands New Guinea, which was ceded to Indonesia in 1963 under the provisions of the New York Agreement.

Examples of dutch east indies in a Sentence

1. Tony Illman:

   After much digging, we were able to make out the date, the coordinates, the ship’s name and direction of the voyage (Cardiff in Wales to Makassar in the Dutch East Indies, now Indonesia), it was clearly very exciting but we needed a lot more information. We wanted to know if what we had found was historically significant or a very inventive hoax.
