Indonesia history, culture and food
Indonesia is a young country and even the idea of a single nation encompassing all of its territory is barely a century old. The word Indonesia itself was little known until the 1920s, when colonial subjects of the Dutch East Indies seized on it as the name for the independent nation they dreamed of. Their dream was realised in 1949 after a long, hard battle to throw off colonial rule. Since then independent Indonesia’s growing pains have encompassed rebellions, religiousstrife, three decades of military dictatorship, much bloodshed, extremes of wealth and poverty, and expansionist adventures into neighbouring territories. Today, economic development has come a long way and Indonesia is maturing as a multi-party democracy, though not without its problem areas.
