The East Timor War primarily involved East Timor and Indonesia. Following East Timor's declaration of independence from Portugal in 1975, Indonesia invaded and occupied the territory, leading to a violent conflict that lasted until 1999. The United Nations and various countries, including Australia and Portugal, played roles in advocating for East Timor's independence and providing humanitarian assistance during the crisis. Ultimately, East Timor achieved independence in 2002 after a UN-supervised referendum.
Yes, they are the same country. Timor-Leste is the official title of the country (as well as East Timor in Portuguese, the language of Timor-Leste), but East Timor is commonly used in the English speaking world. Timor-Leste is a new country that gained independence from Indonesia in 2002.
No it isn't. East Timor was separated from Indonesia in 1999.
The president of Indonesia when East Timor gained independence in 2002 was Megawati Sukarnoputri. She took office in July 2001, following the resignation of Abdurrahman Wahid. East Timor's transition to independence began with a UN-sponsored referendum in August 1999, leading to its eventual independence from Indonesia.
