[] We weren't always whole. In the beginning, we were divided, ruled by different leaders. It was not rare that our ideologies clashed, causing riots that damages our unity. However, everything altered after people from the east and wesf discovered our lands' abundance with spices. It initiated with the trading of spices with their foreign currencies, then it escalates to the stealing of lands, overworking of human resources, and limiting education for the indigenous. Becoming drained over the rough work and empty promises of independence, our people went ahead and rebel foreign colonies. For the first time, kingdoms united and went against the Dutch and Japanese, fighting for their freedom despite how many gallons of blood were shed, how many lives were taken away. They defended our country, for us to live in peace; in independence. Dirgahayu Republik Indonesia. Selamat Hari Kemerdekaan yang ke-77, semuanya! 🇲🇨
