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.

How did conflict in East Timor affect Australia?

During WW2 the Timorese risked life and limb to protect Australian soldier engaged in fighting against the Japanese. When Timor was invaded by the Indonesians with the knowledge and clandestine approval of the Australian Government ( they were about to divy up oil revenues that were going to be made in the Timor sea) This became plain and eventualy the Australian Govt was shamed into coming to the aid of theyr old ally, the Timorise, with the UN to throw out the Indonesians. this done Australia maintains a military presence in east Timor to help rebuild and keep the peace.

What were the causes of the East Timor conflict?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

East Timor Conflict.Prior to WWII, East Timor was a Portuguese colony in what was then the Dutch East Indies. The Netherlands claimed the western portion of the island and the Portuguese the eastern. Following the war, the Dutch East Indies gained its independence and was renamed Indonesia. East Timor was retained as a colony until the Portuguese left the East Timor.

To prevent the communist party, the Fretilin regined, The USA supported anti-communist Indonesia effort to annexed the land to Indonesia.

The conflict over east Timor was as a result of its control over oil resources and Indonesias appetite for control over as much teritory as posible. Indonesia is a nation made up of many different islands peoples and cultures. when the deal was done that Java was to become the overlord of the area after the Dutch left, East Timor (a Portuguese was in a position to refuse to become part off this newly formed dictatorship. Eventually however after they became independent they were in invaded by the Indonesians with the tacit approval of the Australians as they both intended to share in the oil wealth that was in the east Timor sea. The Timorese were brave Allies to the Australians during WW 2 and many fair minded Australians felt Australia should have come to the aid of the east Timorese rather then leaving them at the mercy of a murderous Indonesian regime They agitated and eventually shamed the Australian government into coming to the aid of WW2 ally. (This was the first place Australia helped that wasn't an a American or English military action.) Australian weaponry has been used throughout the conflict to kill innocent Timorese and Australian reporters reporting on the conflict.
