IN BRIEF HISTORY
Battle of Surabaya was the historical event of war between the Indonesian army and Dutch troops. This great event occurred on November 10, 1945 in Surabaya, East Java. This battle was the first war of Indonesian forces with foreign troops after the Proclamation of Independence of Indonesia and one of the largest and heaviest battles in the history of the Indonesian National Revolution who became a national symbol of Indonesian resistance against colonialism.
10 NOVEMBER 1945 TO DEFEND THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA
By tracing back the history of national struggle, it is clear that the Republic of Indonesia which was proclaimed by Sukarno-Hatta on August 17, 1945 date is the result of labors, the flow of tears and blood, the sacrifices in prisons or in landfills Digul, which donated by so many people from various segments of society of this country. And we mean that would bisalah battles Surabaya (and in other places then) is, in essence, the defense of the freedom fighters before the 1945 pioneers. In summary, 10 November 1945 is a real form of collective determination to defend the Republic of Indonesia (who was then about 3 months old).
With such a historical approach that is increasingly seen that 10 November is a part of history that there is a rope-temalinya - or an extension _ with previously important events in the fight against Dutch colonialism, among other things: the spirit of rebel Communist Party in 1926, speech by Bung Karno _Indonesia Menggugat_ in before a Dutch court in Bandung (1927), the birth of Pancasila speech by Bung Karno (June 1, 1945). If we consider both re-consider the Bung Karno's second speech, and we think it is deeply, we discover in it the ideals of our nation to achieve national independence and national unity, in order to establish a nation for our people.
MEANING OF GREATNESS 10 NOVEMBER
Greatness is the meaning of the battle of Surabaya, which is then confirmed as Memorial Day, not only because so many heroes - both known and not known _ who have sacrificed themselves for the sake of the Republic of Indonesia. Nor only because the length of the battle on a large scale and magnitude of opposing forces. Besides all, the greatness of the meaning of the battle Surabaya is also located on the role and influence, for the time course of the revolution. Battle of Surabaya has been able to mobilize the masses to participate, either actively or passively, in the struggle against the common enemy at that time, the British soldiers who protect or _menyelundupkan_ NICA into Indonesian territory.
Battle of Surabaya also has spread, to the areas most distant in Indonesia, republican consciousness, high patriotism, solidarity among the various arms race, religion, ancestry. P_ngaruhnya like a big flame that burns the spirit of resistance that appeared also the battle in many places in Indonesia. (To mention just a few of them: in Jakarta on November 18th, in Semarang on 18 November, in Riau on the 18th of November, in Ambarawa on 21 November, on the island of Bangka November 21, at Brastagi November 25th, in Bandung on 6 December, in Medan December 6, in Bogor on December 6).
The main characteristic of the various struggles that erupted in many cities and regions in Indonesia is that the events that had great moral and material support from the people, which means it also has a sense of patriotic unity in the struggle, and on a large scale. In this connection, it should be remembered along with how many soup kitchens that have been organized by people everywhere for those who are struggling, without compensation whatsoever. Also, how many party youths who flocked to the combat zone.
That is, the struggle against the British (and NICA) has inspired the spirit of patriotism that cross-ethnic, inter-religious, inter-racial descent, and cross-flow of politics. In the spirit it was also, the people of Indonesia and then continue, between 1945 to 1949, the struggle against the Dutch, after the Allies (Britain) left Indonesia.
In remembering the battle Surabaya (and also other battles that occurred in many places in our country) then terbayanglah how wonderful atmosphere at the time of the revolution, when the high patriotism and the spirit of willing sacrifice for the benefit of the people and nations become common pride. The atmosphere at the time of the revolution has provided great moral education for many people.
After our nation through the dark New Order, when the fire of patriotism has been made to fade and unconscious spirit of democracy has been made for decades, it is fitting we would still keep the hope that our nation will be able to find the back of the direction that has been demonstrated by the pioneer freedom fighters and the heroes who have preceded us, namely: the spirit of Unity in Diversity continues to serve the interests of the people are sincere!
