World War II in the Pacific ended after the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. The Empire of Japan surrended to the Allies aboard USS Missouri in 1945. It inspired the East Indies (Indonesian) nationalists to proclaim independence, which the Japanese had promised. Soon, the leaders of the Indonesian nationalists movement insisted that Soekarno, a son of a school-teacher and theosophist, and Hatta, a Sumatra economist, proclaim Indonesian independence on the August 17th, 1945. They were also appointed president and vice-president of the new nation.
After the Japanese fled from the East Indies, the Dutch came back to recover the territory. They realized that the East Indies was very important for the Dutch economy. Armed with Japanese weapons, the nationalists declared war on the Dutch. However, with their modern weapons, the Dutch were able to make significant headway in Sumatra and Java.
The Dutch aggression came under much criticism from the United Nations. They proposed a negotiation between the Dutch and the Indonesian nationalist movement and both sides agreed to negotiate. Eventually, a conference of 120 delegates was held in the Hague (Dutch: Den Haag) in 1949. The Indonesian nationalist delegates were led by Mohammad Hatta. After ten weeks of meetings, both sides reached an agreement by which the Dutch recognised the sovereignty of the United States of Indonesia, with Queen Juliana as the titular head of an Indonesian-Dutch union.
