After the capitulation of Japan, the Indonesian nationalist Soekarno proclaimed the independent republic of Indonesia. The Netherlands did not accept this proclamation.

This caused the Indonesian War of Independence (1945-1949) to break out. The Dutch government called the military operations in this war politionele acties ('police actions'), because they were supposed to be aimed at restoring domestic order.

Under pressure from the US and the UN, the Netherlands caved in. Queen Juliana signed the transfer of sovereignty on 27 September 1949.

    1st Police action
    (July 1947 - Jan 1948)
    Operation Product (Agresi 1): restoration of Dutch authority.

    Deliberate choice for the name 'police' action and not for the word 'military' or 'war'.

    Militarily a success, politically not: the Republic remained and there was a lot of criticism from abroadet woord 'militair', of 'oorlog'.

    Militair een succes, politiek niet: Republiek bleef bestaan en er kwam veel kritiek uit het buitenland

    The Netherlands wanted to settle quickly the unrest in the Dutch East Indies: cost too much money

    Again, militarily speaking, a success (note: war crimes were committed on a large scale)
