gcold, I've edited the sheet with this. [hider=History+Analysis] But more important was American support. Douglas MacArthur, the new man in the White House, permitted Dutch action in the Indies and blocked attempts by the UN to oppose the politional actions. In 1950, the Dutch army landed in South and East Sumatra, and finding the support of the Chinese, the Sultans, the Malayans and common peasants who had enough of the unrest it took only a year for formal military control to be established over all major highways and cities on the island. This did not mark the end of the Indonesian conflict: A bloody guerilla erupted on both islands, with a clear high point being mid-to-late 1951. Since then the TNI has subsided, drawing less and less volunteers as stability has returned to parts of the islands. At the start of the game, a low-level conflict still exists in parts of Java and Sumatra's interior, but the cities, coasts, Sumatra's oil fields and Java's plantations, as well as the areas surrounding those, have been completely pacified with the exception of the occasional act of terrorism. The military and political leadership of the PNI are currently awaiting trial in the Netherlands. The country is expected to continue growing economically. Overseas, it works with hearts and minds campaign to end the guerilla in Indonesia, which has worked well thus far. The Hague has also made very clear that as soon as the guerilla stops steps can be taken to grant autonomy to the States of Indonesia, which could perhaps have played a role in the weakening of the guerilla.
