    Sukarno was the first president of Indonesia, serving from 1945 to 1967. He led Indonesia's struggle for independence from the Netherlands and spent over a decade imprisoned by the Dutch until being released by invading Japanese forces. After World War II, Sukarno declared Indonesian independence and resisted further Dutch colonization through diplomatic and military means. He established an autocratic "Guided Democracy" system in 1957 to bring stability after a period of unrest and rebellions threatened the country. In the early 1960s, Sukarno aligned Indonesia with communist groups but was eventually replaced by general Suharto in 1967 due to his declining health and a communist purge.

    Sukarno (6 June 1901 21 June 1970)[3] was the first President of Indonesia, serving in office from

    1945 to 1967.
    Sukarno was the leader of his country's struggle for independence from the Netherlands. He was a
    prominent leader of Indonesia's nationalist movement during the Dutch colonial period, and spent
    over a decade under Dutch detention until released by the invading Japanese forces. Sukarno and
    his fellow nationalists collaborated to garner support for the Japanese war effort from the population,
    in exchange for Japanese aid in spreading nationalist ideas. Upon Japanese surrender, Sukarno
    and Mohammad Hatta declared Indonesian independence on 17 August 1945, and Sukarno was
    appointed as first president. He led Indonesians in resisting Dutch re-colonization efforts via
    diplomatic and military means until the Dutch acknowledgment of Indonesian independence in 1949.
    After a chaotic period of parliamentary democracy, Sukarno established an autocratic system called
    "Guided Democracy" in 1957 that successfully ended the instability and rebellions which were
    threatening the survival of the diverse and fractious country. The early 1960s saw Sukarno veering
    Indonesia to the left by providing support and protection to the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) at
    the expense of the military and Islamists. He also embarked on a series of aggressive foreign
    policies under the rubric of anti-imperialism, with aid from the Soviet Union and China. The 30
    September Movement led to the destruction of PKI and his replacement by one of his
    generals, Suharto (see Transition to the New Order), and he remained under house arrest until his
    death.
