Indonesian Nationalism

Indonesian nationalism is a movement emphasizing pride in the country's unique cultural identity, history, and independence. It grew during colonial rule under Dutch control, inspiring people to unite and reclaim sovereignty. By promoting shared language, traditions, and goals, Indonesian nationalism fostered a collective identity that resisted external domination, ultimately leading to independence in 1945. This sense of national pride continues to shape Indonesia's efforts to maintain unity and develop as a diverse, democratic nation.
