Kebangkitan Nasional (National Awakening)

Kebangkitan Nasional, or the National Awakening, was a movement in Indonesia during the early 20th century aimed at uniting and empowering Indonesians against colonial rule. It involved cultural, political, and social efforts to foster national identity, pride, and awareness of independence. Influenced by global ideas of nationalism and anti-colonialism, leaders and intellectuals worked to awaken a sense of shared history, language, and culture, laying the foundation for Indonesia’s independence movement. This awakening mobilized various groups and fostered a collective consciousness that eventually led to the country's fight for sovereignty.
