I am also an Indonesian politician who exiled from Java by the Dutch authorities in 1933. In 1942 I returned to my country and collaborated with the Japanese occupation force in power. Three years later I proclaimed Indonesia as an independent nation, fighting against my old nemesis, the Dutch. On 12/27/1949 the Netherlands ceded sovereignty of Indonesia after a four year war; I was made the head of state. In 1960 I suspended the Indonesian Parliament; three years later I was named President of the nation for life. In 1965 I lost my position, a testament to the instability of the nation at the time. I died on 6/21/1970, Djakarta, Indonesia.
