The Indonesian National Revolution or Indonesian War of Independence (Indonesian: Perang Kemerdekaan Indonesia) was an armed conflict and diplomatic struggle between the Republic of Indonesia and the Dutch Empire, and an internal social revolution following the postwar and postcolonial Indonesia. It took place between Indonesia's declaration of independence in 1945 and the Dutch recognition of Indonesia's independence at the end of 1949. The Indonesian independence movement began in May 1908, which is commemorated as the "Year of National Awakening" (Indonesian: Tahun Kebangkitan Bangsa).
