The first European power to colonize Indonesia were the Dutch rulers who came from netherlands. The Indonesian islands were then knoen as the Dutch East Indies. At first, the Dutch East Indies were controled by the Dutch East Indoa Company. But after the breakdown of the company, the Netherlands' government took the direct control of the Dutch East Indies.
