This is why in the early 1900s the dutch campaigns the een erschulds which essentially the recognition of this atrocities and Indonesia's help in the development of the netherland. In that era, there were massive development in Indonesia and a lot of Indonesians were sent to Netherland to study up until the 2nd world war. Tbh, with the current corruption in the government, I wish Indonesia never state their independence from the Netherland and I think both country could benefit each other and even become one of the world's powerhouse had they decided to stay together.

As soon as I saw the title, I knew it's VOC. I'm Indonesian. What VOC did in Banda is only a small fraction of their crimes against humanity.
Netherlands' wealth is built upon the blood and bones of my ancestors. Europe's wealth is built upon the corpse of the people they subjugated, the lands they ravaged. And now, they refused to be invaded by people fleeing ex Europe-occupied lands where resources had bled dry and civil war tore societies apart. Ironic.
Ted-Ed, none of your previous content had ever felt so personal to me. Thank you for the video.

also, Voc also did another thing that affect all of indonesia, establishing colonies in a lot of island and force native to work for them, like forcing them to farm sugar cane and other international commodity at the the time, and the natives are also not allowed to farm their main food source, which make all of them starving to death, and forcing them to work like in the megaproject of anyer-panarukan post highway, in which the voc almost didn't provide any food, with no healthcare and unsanitary water,

i live in the Netherlands myself and it s absolutely insane to me that since the 6th grade, when this was first taught to me, i haven t been taught the actual version.
they teach it to us in the perspective of (of course) our dutch travelers and explorers who made our country rich. pains me to see that even this video, that explains these painful years in just 5 min) does a better job.
really shows u which side of history people are on

European colonists were nothing but an imperialists who subjugated the native people and whose interests were nothing but the exploitation of the natives' land and to which they were eager to deprive them(natives) in any means. If they( Europeans) wouldn't have landed on this precious lands (God forbid) maybe we would have been prosperous and manage every affairs in our own ways. Down with this imperialistic views.

Lol, every year during my primary school. We did a school research project on this company. At the time we had limited information on the subject, in the days before the Internet. Now the truth comes out. I'm glad the youth of today have access to information and knowledge of truth unlike my generation and generations before me.

Indonesian here. Just from looking at the thumbnail I knew this must be about the VOC.
Also, funny to hear the narrator says orang kaya. It literally means rich person in Indonesian and is a very standard phrase used in daily convos, not exactly a title or a formal name for a certain social class. At least not today.

This same wealth makes Europe rich today. And rather giving wealth back to these countries they destroyed, they just take immigrants and pretend they are charitable while in reality they are also using them as an economic resource whole causing a brain drian from those countries
