The Battle of Surabaya was fought between pro-independence Indonesian soldiers and militia against British
and British Indian troops as a part of the Indonesian National Revolution.
The peak of the battle was in November 1945. The battle was the heaviest single battle of the revolution and
became a national symbol of Indonesian resistance. Fighting broke out on 30 October after the British
commander, Brigadier A. W. S. Mallaby was killed in a skirmish. Although the Colonial forces largely captured
the city in three days, the poorly armed Republicans fought for three weeks, and thousands died as the
population fled to the countryside.
The battle and defence mounted by the Indonesians galvanised the nation in support of independence and
helped garner international attention. For the Dutch, it removed any doubt that the Republic was not simply a
gang of collaborators without popular support. It also had the effect of convincing Britain that wisdom lay on
the side of neutrality in the revolution; within a few years, in fact, Britain would support the Republican cause
in the United Nations.
Considered a heroic effort by Indonesians, the battle helped galvanise Indonesian and international support for
Indonesian independence. 10 November is celebrated annually as Heroes’ Day.

A. October 1945
B. December 1945

”deemed necessary” to restore order to the chaotic situation during the Indonesian killings of 1965-1966.
