The Netherlands Indies, also known as the Dutch East Indies was a Dutch colony from 1800. After 1880, this area was referred to as Indonesia. During the 2nd World War the territory was occupied by Japanese forces, during which time it is said that 4 million people died. After Japan surrendered in 1945, Indonesian nationalists declared independence. The Dutch fought to maintain control of their colony, but eventually accepted Indonesian independence in 1949.
The first stamps of the Dutch East Indies (Netherlands Indies) were issued in 1864. After independence in 1949, Indonesian stamps were issued.
