Slide 7 - Tekstslide

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

Ethical policy
  • Originated around 1900 in the Netherlands

  • The Netherlands wants to give something back to the Indonesian population (Debt of Honor)

  • Teaching civilization and culture

Slide 9 - Tekstslide

The ethical policy consisted of:
  • Improving education in the Dutch East Indies

  • Install irrigation for better harvests

  • Promote emigration from densely populated to sparsely populated areas

  • Improving healthcare

Slide 10 - Tekstslide

The consequences of better education
  • Some Indonesians went to study in the Netherlands;

  • ..and learn about freedom and democracy there

  • Result: emergence of nationalism in the Dutch East Indies

Note: Nationalism also arises in other colonies

Slide 11 - Tekstslide


How does the Netherlands deal with the rising nationalism?
  • Moderate nationalists allowed to participate in the Volksraad (1918)

  • No independence for the time being (β€œWill take a few hundred years.”)

  • The Volksraad is not a big deal: can only give advice to the government

Slide 12 - Tekstslide

Disappointment among Indonesian nationalists
  • The Volksraad has little influence

  • Young people usually don't get the good job they had studied for.

  • Everything shows: no independence for the time being, the Dutch like it in the Indies.

Slide 13 - Tekstslide

Consequeces
  • Radicalisation: no more cooperation with the Dutch

  • (Armed) struggle for independence (ex. uprising)

  • Partai Kommunis Indonesia (PKI)

  • Partai Nasional Indonesia (PNI)

Slide 14 - Tekstslide


Reaction Netherlands

  • Parties are banned: PKI (1927), PNI (1931)

  • Leaders are jailed: Sukarno and Hatta (PNI)

  • Only moderate groups were allowed
