Indonésie: Le président Sukarno est arrêté par les pays-Bas en janvier 1949. Un an plus tard, il retournerait à Jakarta en triomphe. Sukarno est né le 6 juin 1901 à Blaitar, dans l'est de Java. Son nom était Kushno Sosrodihardjo, mais il a été renommé, selon la coutume javanaise, après avoir survécu à une maladie infantile. Son nom est souvent orthographié Soekarno après l'orthographe néerlandaise. Le 4 juillet 1927, Sukarno et quelques amis ont fondé le Partai Nasional Indonesia (PNI) en vue de lutter pour l'indépendance indonésienne. Sukarno a été condamné en tant que prisonnier politique en 1930, mais a été libéré en 1931.

Sukarno was born on 6 June 1901 in Blitar, eastern Java, to a Javanese schoolteacher and a Balinese mother. His name was Kusno Sosrodihardjo, but he was renamed, as per Javanese custom, after surviving a childhood illness. His name is frequently spelled Soekarno after the Dutch spelling. Graduating with a degree in engineering in 1926, Sukarno became an accomplished architect in Bandung, western Java. His peers considered him modern and highly intelligent—reputedly endowed with a photographic memory—and he was fluent in nine languages. On 4 July, 1927, Sukarno and some friends founded the Partai Nasional Indonesia (PNI) with a view to fighting for Indonesian independence. Sentenced as a political prisoner in 1930, Sukarno's cause was widely reported in the Dutch East Indies and abroad, and, as a result, he was freed in 1931. Forever a thorn in the Dutch side, Sukarno continued to agitate. In 1942, the invading Japanese drove the Europeans from the islands, and turned to Sukarno and other former nationalists. Two days after the Japanese surrender to the Allies, on August 17, 1945, Sukarno declared Indonesian independence. Although the Dutch returned to reclaim their colony and Sukarno was arrested, Indonesian independence was ultimately recognised. Sukarno established a parliamentary democracy, but maintained strong personal control. He courted relations with the West, the Soviets and China. He was appointed President for Life in 1963, and his latter years were marked by a rule of personality cult. Sukarno was ousted from office by Gen Suharto in 1967 and held under house arrest until his death on 21 June 1970.
