Indonesia but it was not until 2005 that Dutch accepted August 17 1945, as Indonesia's official date of independence.

One of the popular games played on this day is Panjat Pinang in which participants climb the greased trunk Areca palm tree.
                  

What significance does the Independence Day hold in Indonesian history? 
 
The arrival of Dutch in Indonesia can be traced back to the establishment of Dutch East India Company (VOC) in 1602. In 1800, after the bankruptcy of VOC, Netherlands established Dutch East Indies - the colony that became present day Indonesia after the World War II. Indonesia remained under Dutch control until World War II, when the Japanese invaded it and overran the Dutch forces. The Japanese ruled this archipelago from March 1942 until the end of war in 1945. After the surrender of the Japanese, Indonesian nationalist leader, Sukarno, declared independence on August 17, 1945. Sukarno became the first president of Indonesia.

The Dutch, however, did not accept this declaration of independence. What followed was Indonesian National Revolution, an armed and diplomatic struggle between Indonesia and Dutch Empire. The revolution came to an end in 1949, when Netherlands recognized Indonesian independence. The Independence Day of Indonesia marks the occasion when the country declared its freedom from foreign rule.

What does the Indonesian flag represent?
The national flag of Indonesia, also known as Sang Saka Merah-Putih was proudly unveiled on August 17, 1945. It is based on the banner of 13th Majapahit Empire in East Java. The design of the flag has remained same since its independence. The flag consists of two horizontal stripes of equal size; the top strip is red, and the bottom one is white. The colors of the flag have special significance for the history and people of Indonesia. While red represents courage, white epitomizes purity.

Who wrote the national anthem of Indonesia?
The national anthem of Indonesia, Indonesia Raya, was composed by Wage Rudolf Supratman. It was introduced for the first time on October 28, 1928, in the Second Indonesian Youth Congress in Batavia, or present day Jakarta. It was adopted as the national anthem in 1945.
