During the centuries-old colonial rule in Indonesia, foreign colonizers—primarily the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and later the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army (KNIL)—perpetrated numerous massacres, summary executions, and systemic violence against the local population. Historical records estimate that over 100,000 Indonesians were killed during the brutal War of Independence (1945–1949) alone. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Major Colonial Massacres
- The Banda Islands Massacre (1621): Led by VOC Governor-General Jan Pieterszoon Coen, Dutch forces systematically wiped out or enslaved virtually the entire indigenous population of the Banda Islands (estimated between 10,000 and 15,000 people) to monopolize the global nutmeg trade.
- The Batavia Massacre (1740): Also known as the Chinezenmoord, Dutch colonial soldiers and local mobs massacred at least 10,000 ethnic Chinese residents in the colonial capital of Batavia (modern-day Jakarta) over a span of two weeks.
- The Java War (1825–1830): To suppress a rebellion led by Javanese Prince Diponegoro, Dutch forces utilized scorched-earth tactics, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 200,000 Javanese civilians and fighters through combat, starvation, and disease.
- The Aceh War (1873–1904): A bloody, protracted conquest where Dutch forces, particularly under General J.B. van Heutsz, destroyed hundreds of villages, killing an estimated 50,000 to 70,000 Acehnese.
- The Puputan Massacres in Bali (1906 & 1908): Faced with overwhelming Dutch artillery during invasions, Balinese royal families and their subjects chose mass ritual suicide (puputan) over surrender, marching directly into Dutch gunfire. Thousands were killed.
