About Independence Restoration Day

Independence Restoration Day is a public holiday in East Timor and is always celebrated on 20 May. This day has extraordinary significance to the general population of Timor Leste East Timor due to the long, ridiculous, decades-long clash it took to at last accomplish autonomy in 2002. The individuals of East Timor battled courageously and savagely amid World War II against the Japanese, at the end of the day, East Timor fell into Japanese hands. After World War II, it was come back to Portugal, yet the autonomy development soon jumped up and developed.

The common people of East Timor at that point opposed Indonesian control, and this was quelled viciously, with approximately 100,000 individuals biting the dust in the contention more than two decades' time. The 1991 Dili Massacre in the end prompted Indonesia permitting a submission on autonomy in 1999, which was overwhelmingly affirmed. It took a couple of more years for the procedure to be finished, and 20 May is the day when Timor Leste was working again as a completely autonomous country. All things considered, it is hard to state precisely when Timor Leste ended up free. The history is long and complex. The present division, and correct limits, amongst Indonesia and Timor Leste emerged from the division of the island of Timor amongst Portuguese and Dutch provincial organizations.
