History
The people of Indonesia today are of Malay origin and are the descendants of migrants that arrived around 4000 BC.
The first Europeans to visit Indonesia were the Portuguese who sought to capitalise on the valuable spice trade in the islands of Maluku. Soon the Spanish, Dutch and English also sent ships in search of wealth.
After centuries under Dutch rule, the independence of the Republic of Indonesia was declared in 1945 in the wake of World War II. Independence Day is celebrated each year on the 17th of August.
