Bandung as Sea of Fire was a fire that occurred in the city of Bandung on March 24, 1946. Within
seven hours, about 200,000 residents of Bandung burned their homes.
British troops as part of the Brigade MacDonald arrived in Bandung on October 12, 1945. Bandung
was deliberately burned by TRI and local people. There were black smoke billowing high into the air
everywhere. The British Army began to attack so fierce. The greatest battle happened in the
Village name DayeuhKolot, in South Bandung, where there were a large ammunition depot belonging
to British. In this battle, Barisan Rakyat Indonesia destroyed the ammunition depot.

The strategy to fire Bandung was considered because the power of TRI and people’s militia was not
comparable to the British forces and NICA. This incident inspired to create the famous song “Halo

The Supersemar, the Indonesian abbreviation for “SuratPerintahSebelasMaret” ( Order of March


the Eleventh), was a document signed by the Indonesian President Sukarno on 11 March 1966.

It is said that it was giving the army commander Lt. General Soeharto authority to take whatever
measures he ”deemed necessary” to restore order to the chaotic situation during the Indonesian
killings of 1965-1966.

The abbreviation of “Supersemar” is a play on the name of Semar, the mystic and powerful figure
who commonly appears in Javanese mythology including wayang puppet shows. The invocation of

On 10 November, Indonesia celebrates HariPahlawan or Heroes Day in remembrance of the Battle


of Surabaya which started on that very date in the year 1945. The bloody battle took place because
Indonesians refused to surrender their weaponry to British army. British Army at that time was
part of the Allied Forces. The defiant Bung Tomo is the well-known revolutionary leader who played
a very important role in this battle.

It all started because of a misunderstanding between British troops in Jakarta and those in
Surabaya, under the command of Brigadier A.W.WS. Mallaby. Brigadier Mallaby already had an
agreement with Governor of East Java Mr. Surya. The agreement stated that British would not ask
Indonesian troops and militia to surrender their weapons.

However, a British plane from Jakarta dropped leaflets all over Surabaya. The leaflet told
Indonesians to do otherwise on 27 October 1945. This action angered the Indonesian troops and
militia leaders because they felt betrayed.

On 30 October 1945, Brigadier Mallaby was killed as he was approaching the British troops’ post
near JembatanMerah or Red Bridge, Surabaya. There were many reports about the death, but it
was widely believed that the Brigadier was murdered by Indonesian militia. Looking at this situation,
Lieutenant General Sir Philip Christison brought in reinforcements to siege the city.

In the early morning of 10 November 1945, British troops began to advance into Surabaya with
cover from both naval and air bombardment. Although the Indonesians defended the city heroically,
the city was conquered within 3 days and the whole battle lasted for 3 weeks. In total, between
6,000 and 16,000 Indonesians died while casualties on the British side were about 600 to 2000.

Battle of Surabaya caused Indonesia to lose weaponry which hampered the country’s independence
struggle. However, the battle provoked Indonesian and international mass to rally for the country’s
independence which made this battle especially important for Indonesian national revolution.

The Statue of Liberty, arguably one of New York City’s most iconic symbols, is a popular tourist
attraction for first-time visitors to the city. This 150-foot monument was gifted to the United
States from France in order to celebrate 100 years of America’s independence. The statue is
located on Liberty Island, and it is accessible by taking a ferry from either Battery Park in New
York City or Liberty State Park in Jersey City.

When Claire visited the Statue of Liberty for the first time, she instantly admired it as a symbol
of freedom. Claire made sure to make reservations before her visit because only 240 people are
permitted to climb the staircase to the top of the statue every day. After climbing almost 400
stairs, Claire received spectacular views of the city from the statue’s crown.

During her visit, Claire learned that the Statue of Liberty was not always the color that it is now.
She found out that because the statue’s exterior is made of copper, the statue oxidized over time,
giving it the greenish appearance it has in present day. When it was first constructed, the statue
was the same color as a shiny penny!

After touring the Statue of Liberty, Claire spent the rest of the day in New York City visiting
other important monuments and historic landmarks. Claire left New York hoping to have had the
time to explore more sites, but she can’t wait to
