Dutch immigrants from Indonesia arrive in Auckland in November 1949. Indonesian nationalists declared independence in 1945, and in the four following years war raged as the Dutch attempted to re-establish their authority in Indonesia. When the Republic of Indonesia was finally established, in 1949, some Indonesian-Dutch people, including ex-servicemen, came to New Zealand to settle.
