East Timor was once a part of what country?
Portugal. East Timor was known as Portuguese Timor since it's colonisation by the Dutch in the 16 century. It was 'decolonised' in 1975 after a revolution in Portugal in 1974. Independence was unilaterally declared (ahead of planned elections) by FRETILIN on 28 November 1975, after an 'alleged' civil war between UDT and FRETILIN. The reality was, the hastened process of declaring themselves an independent country was an attempt to avoid a planned invasion of East Timor by Indonesia, it was thought that The UN would 'protect' the status of that newly formed 'independent state'. In December 1975, the independent country of East Timor was invaded and colonised by Indonesia, the UN declared it an illegal act, but nothing was done to help by any other country. The country remained under the yolk of Indonesian control for almost 25 years, until a belated UN sponsored 'ballot' in 1999. This was to finally decide the status of 'Timor Timur' (the Indonesian name for Timor 'east'), it was thought by Indonesia that this would formally integrate East Timor as the 27th province of Indonesia. They were so very wrong, the overwhelming majority of the population of East Timor did NOT vote for integration, they finally got to have their say, and voted for independence.
