Get to know the history of the Republic of Indonesia


The proclamation of the independence of the Republic of Indonesia is a very long
chronological process starting from Japan's defeat of its allies in World War 2 until Soekarno and
Moh Hatta were able to proclaim the independence of the Republic of Indonesia. Every August
17th, the people of Indonesia always commemorate Proclamation Day. This date is a turning point
in the long history of Indonesian independence, where previously the people of the country had
been colonized for many years.

1. Japan lost to the Allies


The background for reading the text of the proclamation begins with Japan's
surrender to its allies, where previously Japan in 1944 had announced that the East Indies,
namely Indonesia, would be allowed to become independent in the future. In 1945, BPUPKI
(investigating body for Indonesian Independence Preparation efforts) and PPKI (Indonesian
Independence Preparation Committee) were formed.
The aim of establishing these two bodies was to attract sympathy from the
Indonesian people so that they would help Japan fight against the allies. However, during
the Pacific war, Hiroshima was bombed on August 6th 1945and followed by the bombing of
Nagasaki on August 9th 1945. This event made around 14,000 Japanese people become
victims and finally they admitted defeat to the Allies.
2. Establishment of BPUPKI
In order for Indonesia to be more confident in the promise of independence made by
Japan, on March 1st 1945 a body was formed whose task was to prepare for Indonesian
independence. This body was known as the Investigation Agency for Preparatory Efforts for
Indonesian Independence (BPUPKI) or in Japanese it was called Dokuritsu Junbi Cosakai.
BPUPKI is chaired by doctor Radjiman Wedyodiningrat. BPUPKI held two sessions
as preparation for independence. The first session on 29 May - 1 June 1945 discussed the
basic formulation of the Indonesian state which we later came to know as Pancasila.
Formulated by Soekarno, Soepomo and Muhammad Yamin on June 22th 1945.
BPUPKI formed a Committee of Nine to finalize the Pancasila concept that had been
previously designed. The result of the discussion of the Committee of Nine was in the form
of the Jakarta Charter or Jakarta Charter. Meanwhile, the second session on July 10 - 14

discussed the formulation of the basic law and its preamble. After Japan deemed BPUPKI's
duties complete, Japan immediately disbanded the agency.
3. Formation of PPKI
The events surrounding the proclamation that occurred after the dissolution of
BPUPKI were that Japan re-formed a body called the Indonesian Independence Preparatory
Committee (PPKI) or in Japanese called Dokuritsu Junbi Inkai. This body is tasked with
continuing the tasks of BPUPKI in preparing for independence. PPKI consists of 21
members and is chaired by Ir. Sukarno.
4. Rengasdengklok incident
The young group led by Wikana Darwis and Sukarni urged Soekarno-Hatta to
immediately proclaim Indonesia's independence no later than August 16 th 1945. However,
Soekarno, who at that time served as chairman of the PPKI, could not just let go of his
responsibilities and had to discuss it with other members. After fierce differences of opinion
emerged between the young and old groups, the young groups finally agreed to kidnap
Soekarno-Hatta with the aim of keeping them both away from Japanese influence.
Soekarno-Hatta was taken to Rengasdengklok, an area in the Karawang region, West Java.
This is the origin of the events surrounding the proclamation called the Rengasdengklok
incident.
When they found out that Soekarno Hatta had been kidnapped, Ahmad Subarjo's
young group immediately looked for them in Rengasdengklok. Arriving there, with a
guarantee of his life, Ahmad Subarjo promised to proclaim independence tomorrow on
August 17th 1945. With these negotiations and guarantees, the young group released
Soekarno-Hatta.
5. Formulation of the Proclamation text
The formulation was held at the residence of Admiral Maeda, who at that time
served as head of the Japanese naval liaison office. Maeda's house was considered the safest
for formulating the Proclamation text typed by Sayuti Melik. In his role, Soekarno
formulated the concept of the proclamation on a piece of paper while Hatta and Ahmad
Subarjo contributed their thoughts orally.
6. Seconds of the Proclamation of Independence
The text of the Proclamation was completed at 4 am before dawn. At 05.00 am the
nation's leaders and young figures began to leave Admiral Maeda's residence. It was agreed
that the Proclamation of Independence would be read at 10.00 WIB at Soekarno's residence
on Jl. Pegangsaan Timur No. 56 Jakarta. The red and white flag sewn by Fatmawati was
prepared and people began to gather in the hall. Exactly at 10.00 WIB, Soekarno-Hatta, on
behalf of the Indonesian nation, read the text of the Proclamation of Indonesian
Independence.
