next is the Majapahit Kingdom that managed to control the archipelago Archipelago in the year 1294. Then, the religion of Islam began to enter and grow through the existence of trade activities. Until now, Islam is the majority religion of Indonesian society. Until now, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism flourished in the homeland and influenced people in terms of culture and way of life. History continued when Marco Polo, who was a European national, first set foot in Sumatra

The Spanish and Portuguese were known to have controlled the islands known to possess a great deal of this spice. In 1596 the first time the Dutch ship docked in the sea of ​​West Java and began to plug in his hagemon. For more than 3 centuries, the Dutch colonized the islands in the country until finally established a government called the Dutch East Indies. Since then, there has been a rebellion by the people of the country to fight the invaders
A brief history of the establishment of the Indonesian nation also noted that Japan had colonized the Indonesian archipelago. After the "Greater East Asia War", where America declared to be fighting Japan on December 8, 1941 at the United States Defense Center called "Pearl Harbor". Furthermore, the Dutch East Indies government also joined with allies to declare war with the State of Japan. Initially, Japan came to Indonesia to paralyze the Dutch troops. Then Japan controls various regions in Indonesia. The Japanese territory became more and more powerful when they captured Batavia (now Jakarta) on March 5, 1942. The increasingly urgent Dutch with the Japanese attack finally "surrendered unconditionally". Initially, the Indonesians responded well to the arrival of the Japanese military. This can be seen from the cooperative attitude of National figures such as Ir. Soekarno and also Moh Hatta

At the beginning of the brief history of the birth of the Indonesian nation, the Government of Japan is seen actively giving good to the people of Indonesia by forming various community organizations. Whereas behind the goodness, Japan has an interest in Indonesia. Some organizations that are known to be made by the Japanese government are the People Power Center (PUTERA), Three A Movement, Seinendan, Hokokai Java, Fujinkai, Keibodan, MIAI, Heiho, and the Indonesian Business Intelligence Preparation Agency (BPUPKI) Tojo in 1943

BPUPKI was then dissolved and replaced by PPKI or Dokuritsu Junbi Inkai. PPKI is not an organization formed by Japan, but a committee formed based on the agreement and also the struggle of the national stores that play a role in independence. Japan's defeat against the Americans makes this country increasingly cornered. Seeing this, the young generation of Indonesia took this opportunity to proclaim its independence on August 17, 1945.
