On 27 December 1949 the Netherlands officially transferred sovereignty over Indonesia to the Republic of Indonesia. This event marked the end of a long process that began with Indonesia declaring its independence from Dutch colonial rule on 17 August 1945 . The transfer of sovereignty was formalized through the Dutch-Indonesian Round Table Conference, which took place from 23 August to 02 November 1949 , in The Hague.
The outcome of the conference was the recognition of Indonesia as an independent and sovereign state by the Netherlands. The transfer of sovereignty on 27 December 1949, symbolized the end of Dutch colonial rule in Indonesia and the establishment of Indonesia as a unified nation.
