Home > Netherlands New Guinea

Dutch New Guinea was a common name of western New Guinea while it was a colonial possession of the Netherlands. It was officially known as Netherlands New Guinea. It is now a province of Indonesia known as Papua.

From 1898 to 1949 Dutch New Guinea was governed as part of the Dutch East Indies. After an armed conflict in December 1961 and early 1962 the territory was briefly placed under United Nations administration before being transferred to Indonesia in 1963. The territory was formally annexed by Indonesia in 1969 after a controversial plebiscite was conducted by the Indonesian military.
