The Dutch Empire’s first influence on Indonesia is on their thoughts both intellectually and horridly. According to a documentary by Kate Humble, the VOC, a Dutch owned trading organization, took a lot of the Banda Islands’, a group of islands located in the eastern side of Indonesia, land, valuables, and hope when they settled there. They murdered their chiefs and turned their land into VOC buildings. This lead them to have horrific thoughts. Humble mentioned that even mentioning VOC to the people of Banda, will flashed their minds to this horror. So, this means that the people of Indonesia still remember the Dutch’s legacy and it is not in a good way. They still remember when Jan Peiterszoon Coen invaded their island and took everything away from them. Coen destroyed …show more content…
The Dutch mainly ruined more than helping it though. According to Britannica.com, the Dutch used the VOC to overrun multiple Indonesian communities, mainly Banda Islands’ communities, and take their valuables with them. They also murdered the Indonesian tribal chiefs to show the people to not mess with the VOC or the penalty will be deadly. This ruined multiple communities as they have no leaders to lead them from this situation. When the leaders are gone, the citizens of the tribes easily fall because they have no one to lead them. Also, according to Adi Sudirman’s book about Indonesian history, the Dutch and the VOC used sneaky ways to trick the Indonesians to trust them and easily take their land, valuables, and communities. They took the monopolies of multiple Indonesian commodities so that they can decide the price and their value. This means that the VOC took over commodities in Indonesia so that they can do their own bidding with its monopolies. The VOC used strategies that are very sneaky and cause their victims to easily lose the fight. Unfortunately, there are no good side of this influential actions the VOC
That Colonialism and imperialism played a significant role in shaping the modern world and particularly Asia is a prudent judgment. Colonialism is "a policy in which a country rules other nations and develops trade for its own benefit" and "the extension of power or authority over others in the interests of domination" (2004). 'The West', which refers to the societies of Europe and their genealogical, colonial, and philosophical descendants. Spain, France, Britain, Canada, and the United States of America are some examples of Western societies. These countries have spread their influence and hegemony over other nations for centuries; shaping today's North America,
The Amboyna Massacre occurred in 1623 on the island of Ambon in present day Indonesia where twenty men were executed on the accusation of treason by the hands of the Dutch East India Company. Ten of these men were members of English East India Company who were trading at a post belonging to the Dutch East India Company. The Amboyna Massacre would result in an intensifying feud between the English and the Dutch, and would be a symbol for growing European power throughout the world.
The Dutch West India Company settled New Netherlands, and the Dutch bought Manhattan. New Netherland was aristocratic and feudal.
The New Netherlands colony was a company town; its benefactors cared little for a socially tolerant colony. However, after continuous protests, a limited local government was created. The majority of the Dutch colony’s land adopted feudal domain, which in time became populated with a large variety of immigrants. The New Netherland colony was under constant intrusion from its shareholders and neighboring New England colonies.
The founding of the New World fascinated many Europeans because of the possibilities of the economic, political, and social growth. Europeans packed their belongings and boarded the boat to new beginnings. Arriving in the Americas was not what they had expected. Already pre-occupied in the land, were the Native Americans. The Native Americans refused the Europeans colonization in the America’s, but not all colonies in the Europe just wanted to colonize with the Natives. The intentions of the Europeans colonies were all different, as the Dutch solely came for business transactions. The Dutch business transactions resulted in the change of economic, political, and social movements, changing the lives of the Native’s.
Military strategy forever had been battles of attrition, men throwing themselves at each other until a winner was determined, this form of battle was replaced in Europe during the 16th and 17th century. The change in military strategy took place mostly in Europe, and the countries at the forefront of this were the Swedish empire and the Netherlands. The Swedes and Dutch changed many military strategies and practices which were in place for thousands of years and changed the standard for militaries. They helped to show the first realistic application of David versus Goliath, using smart tactics paired with a smaller army to destroy militaries of greater size. The two smallest nations in Europe took control and led the world in military innovations in the 16th and 17th century through competition and loss. The Swedes and Dutch managed to create fluid militaries which were able to overpower larger armies through deception and agility. The Swedish and Dutch nations during the 16th and 17th century gained military strength through the reformation of tactics, reorganization of the military, improvisation of weapons, and as a result changed the image and action of the military forever. The idea of a military revolution was first explored by a man named Michael Roberts in the 1950s. Roberts said that if the Swedish Empire and the Netherlands had not developed as they did, military strategy and organization would have not evolved for much later.
Australian-Indonesian relations are the foreign relations between the two countries, whether economically, politically, legally or socially. Australian-Indonesian relations involve an interaction in foreign policies between the two nations (Wolfsohn, 1951, p. 68). As long as Indonesia is Australia 's closest and largest neighbor, they are bound to have great international relations. These relations began as early as the 17th century and had only become enhanced with time (Daly, 2003, p. 397). The relationship has been defined by a conjoint growth trade of up to $14 between the years 2011-2012 which reports an increase from the previous economic year (Mark, 2012, p.402). These countries are members of various trade deals such as the ASEAN Regional Forum in addition to having close ties with education, defense, and leadership. Australia 's relationship with Indonesia is crucial, and lack of such could severely bruise the economy, and hence they need to keep united by ensuring the use of widespread media with beneficial input. Australia interacts with Indonesia in a way such as sporting activity, tourism, education, economic policies, youth exchange programs, cultures and above all their diplomacy (Okamoto, 2010, p.241).
Indonesia is the sixteenth largest economy, the largest economy in the South-east Asian economic region with the world's fourth largest population (263 million in 2017). It is an emerging economy that has increased its international integration, trade liberalisation and diverted from policies of import substitution towards export-led development. Indonesia is a member of the Group of 20 (G20) major economies and has been an active founding member of the World Trade Organisation (WTO). The impact of globalisation has benefited Indonesia as quality of life indicators and economic developments have improved but it also presents the challenge of improving regulations, building more competitive industries, increasing investment into education and infrastructure to remain competitive. Consequently, Indonesia has introduced numerous strategies to promote economic growth and development.

In the gruesome tragedy Macbeth, William Shakespeare explores how the temptation of man, in the form of witches, can “drain one dry as hay.” Temptation cannot create or conceive ideas, it can only act upon the existing flaws and subconscious intentions already planted in the victim's mind. The actions and behaviors that follow are the direct product of the initial act of allowing or preventing ‘gall’ to enter one's mind. This is demonstrated indirectly via character foil, of the two once mighty generals of Scotland's militant, Macbeth and Banquo. Both of these men are subject to the same rootless prophecy from the “Weird Sisters,” however due to their divergent ambitions, decisions, and allegiances in their state of mind is affected to varying degrees, ultimately regulating the lengths to which they will go to achieve their ambitions. If one is to avoid a “life forbid” then they must be able to restrain their “vaulting ambition” through means of “wisdom,” “valour,” and “allegiance clear” as demonstrated by Banquo.
After Suharto ended his long dictatorial reign in 1998 there was a substantial increase in religious and ethnic conflict in Indonesia. Author Jacques Bertrand claims religious and ethnic conflict defined Indonesia’s national model. This resulted in three critical junctures during Suharto’s retirement of his sovereign rule. The three critical junctures defined Indonesia’s “terms of citizenship, and give meaning to the structure and procedures of an institution” (Bertrand, 20). When Suharto left as dictator, major political and social changes consumed Indonesia, which threatened the Indonesian realm. The people of Indonesia struggled to define their sense of nationalism.
As many people know, Imperialism has shaped the culture and customs all over the world. Imperialism is the dominance of one country over another politically, economically or socially. Western culture can be seen in all parts of the world; from Asia to Africa, to the Indies and the Americans. The downside of having the bits of western culture all over the world, is how it got there. Western influence was forced upon places in Asia, specifically India, Indonesia with a hellacious price; lives and poverty.
Walking into a nursing home one can’t help notice the overwhelming smell and the people in the wheelchairs and other residents who walk down the hall with assistance. Although you may not want to go one step further past the entrance, if one can get past the smell, one will see the many smiles on these people’s faces. You will see a helping hand, and hear a joy in their voice. These people are nurses and CNA’s, and last but not least, these are business managers.
The Indonesian legal system is complex because it is based on a civil law system, intermixed with customary law, Islamic law and the Roman Dutch law1. Indonesia is a country with a very rich and diverse cultural history. The diversity of and between cultures is enhanced because of the physical nature of the Republic – an archipelago with more than 13,000 islands and 300 of different ethnic and sub-ethnic groups, each with their own laws and customs. Prior to the Dutch colonization in the late 16th century, indigenous kingdoms prevailed and a system of customary law, called Adat law (Hukum Adat or “Adatrecht” in Dutch) was applied2. Later, the Dutch colonization during the next 350 years until 1945
The only thing that we can say in the Spanish colonization is that we felt different emotions. We felt angry because the Spaniards abused the Filipino they treated them as slaves. We felt sad because their are many Filipinos sacrificed their own lives just for the
