Sumpah Pemuda

Sumpah Pemuda, or the Youth Pledge, was a historic event in Indonesia's struggle for independence, declared on October 28, 1928. It was a united declaration by young Indonesians from diverse regions and cultures, affirming three key principles: one homeland (Indonesia), one nation (Indonesia), and one language (Indonesian). This pledge fostered a sense of national identity and solidarity, serving as a vital step toward independence from colonial rule. It remains a symbol of Indonesian unity and nationalism, celebrated annually as a national day honoring youth and patriotism.
