This Day In History

Netherlands Apologizes To Indonesia For 1947 Massacre
On December 9th, 1947, Dutch troops massacred anywhere in between 150 to 431 men and boys, during the Indonesian War for Independence. Today Dutch officials officially apologized on the 64th anniversary of the tragedy, which comes after years of legal battles and a civil court ruling just this December, declaring the Netherlands responsible.
