Refusing to recognize Indonesian independence, the Netherlands attempted to gain control over the decolonization process by force, leading to four years of arduous negotiations and bitter warfare. In 2005, the Dutch government declared that the Netherlands had been ‘on the wrong side of history’ and should not have engaged in this war. However, to this day, the government maintains its position from 1969 about violence at the hands of Dutch soldiers during this war: Yes, there had been ‘excesses’, but as a rule, the armed forces had behaved ‘correctly’. In recent years, this official position has increasingly, and more loudly, been called into question. In Beyond the Pale, conclusions of ten separate studies are presented from different perspectives, addressing the extent to which the Dutch armed forces used extreme violence on a structural basis and offering an assessment of their actions. The authors also examine how the Dutch government and society dealt with this extreme violence both during and after the war. Was it discussed, was it punished or covered up, and what developments does this reflect?Onafhankelijkheid, Dekolonisatie, Geweld en Oorlog in Indonesië 1945-1950 SeriesHISTORY / Military / Wars & Conflicts (Other)bisacshIndonesia, decolonisation, independence, violence, war.HISTORY / Military / Wars & Conflicts (Other).Brocades Zaalberg Thijsctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbBuchheim Evelinectbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbCaptain Estherctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbEickhoff Martijnctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbFarid Hilmarctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbFrakking Roelctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbHarmanny Azarjactbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbKaaij Meindert van derctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbKemperman Jeroenctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbLimpach Rémyctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbLuttikhuis Bartctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbOostindie Gertctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbRaben R(Remco),ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbRomijn Peterctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbSinke Onnoctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbSteijlen Fridusctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbWelvaart Stephaniectbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbZwinkels Estherctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910548267703321Beyond the Pale2834302UNINA
