Best Answer

On August 17 1945 Indonesia declared itself an independent republic. WW2 was ending and the Japanese occupiers were leaving so they allowed Indonesia to declare independence. Then the Dutch and their Allies the English came back and tried to recolonize the place resulting in four years of war until the USA told the Dutch to leave. In theory full independence wasn't achieved until 1949 but the republic existed from Aug 1945. There a many "royal" families in Indonesia, each ethnic group has one or more than one. Indonesia only works because it is a secular republic.
