The Aceh War 1873-1914
The Aceh War, also known as the Dutch War or the Infidel War
(1873-1914), was an armed military conflict between the Sultanate of
Aceh and the Netherlands which was triggered by discussions between
representatives of Aceh and the U.S. in Singapore during early 1873. The
war was part of a series of conflicts in the late 19th century that
consolidated Dutch rule over modern-day Indonesia, concurrent with the
1906 and the 1908 interventions in Bali.

The Dutch New Guinea Dispute 1949-1962
Netherlands New Guinea (Dutch: Nederlands Nieuw-Guinea) refers to the
West Papua region while it was an overseas territory of the Kingdom of
the Netherlands from 1949 to 1962. Until 1949 it was a part of the
Netherlands Indies. It was commonly known as Dutch New Guinea. It is
currently Indonesia's two easternmost provinces, Papua and West Papua
(administered as one single unit prior to 2003 under the name Irian
Jaya). Nieuw Guinea conflict
The Netherlands retained New Guinea when Indonesia became independent in 1949. The arguments of the Dutch government for this changed repeatedly over time. At any rate the Dutch policy with regard to New Guinea was strongly influenced by the Dutch position towards Indonesia. On the one hand the Netherlands wanted to use New Guinea as a Dutch sphere of influence in the region. On the other hand by developing New Guinea and emancipating the Papuan population the Netherlands wanted to vindicate itself as a responsible colonial power.
Indonesia claimed New Guinea as part of its territory. The dispute over New Guinea was an important factor in the quick decline in bilateral relations between the Netherlands and Indonesia after Indonesian independence. Starting in 1962, under pressure from the international community and under threat of armed conflict with Indonesia, the Netherlands relinquished control and a series of events led to the eventual official annexation of New Guinea in 1969 to Indonesia.
