power and other things will be properly dealt with in the shortest possible time.”

The Java war happened in 1785 until 1855, in Yogyakarta. The Java War is also known as the
Diponegoro War because its central figure was Pangeran Diponegoro.
The cause was the Dutch decision to build a road across a piece of his property that contained
sacred tomb. Amongst other causes was a sense of resentment felt by members of the Javanese
aristocratic families at Dutch measures intended to restrict the renting out of land at high prices. Finally
the succession of the throne of Yogyakarta was disputed.
The forces of Prince Diponegoro were successful in the early stages of the war, taking control of
the middle of Java and besieging Yogyakarta. The Javanese population was supportive of Prince
Diponegoro’s cause, whereas the Dutch colonial authorities were initially indecisive. The Dutch were
unleashed. As the Java war became prolonged, PrinceDiponegoro had difficulties in maintaining the
numbers of his troops. Diponegoro then began an extensive guerrilla war.
In the 1825, the Dutch appointed a skilled and adaptable commander, De Cock. His strategy
isolated Diponegoro’s forces and deprived him of the local support he needed to keep fighting. The Dutch
were also very clever in offering amnesties and rewards to those of Diponegoro’s supporters who
surrendered to them, and this encouraged many to stop fighting for Diponegoro. Interstingly, the Dutch
also offered a large reward for Diponegoro either dead or alive but such was the personal loyalty felt
towards Diponegoro no one betrayed him.
After months in hiding and on the run, Diponegoro agreed to peace talks with the Dutch in 1830,
but after some negotiations he was arrested and soon exiled out of Java. The Dutch administration made
sure that he was never allowed to return to Java and Diponegoro died in exile at Makasar.
The memory of the Java War would live on, and in the 20th Century Diponegoro was later
declared a nationalist hero by the new Indonesian Republic.

This Song Lyrics is for question numbers 26 to 30


I saw the morning
It was shattered by a gun
Heard a scream, saw him fall, no one cried
I saw a mother
She was praying for her son
Bring him back, let him live, don't let him die

Do you ever ask yourself


Is there a Heaven in the sky
Why can't we get it right
Because we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon
Then why, why can't we live as one

I saw the evening


Fading shadows one by one
We watch the lamb, lay down to the sacrifice
I saw the children
The children of the sun
How they wept, how they bled, how they died
Chorus
Sometimes I think I'm going mad
We're losing all we had and no one seems to care
But in my heart it doesn't change
We've got to rearrange and bring our world some love
And does it really matter
If there's a heaven up above
We sure could use some love
