The Battle of Ambarawa
The Battle of Ambarawa was a battle between the recently created Indonesian Army
and the British Army that occurred between 20 October and 15 December 1945 in
Ambarawa, Indonesia.
On 20 October 1945, Allied troops under the command of Brigadier Bethell landed in
Semarang to disarm Japanese troops. Initially, the troops were welcomed in the area,
with Central Java’s governor Wongsonegoro agreeing to provide them with food and
other necessities in return for the Allies’ promise to respect Indonesia’s sovereignty
and independence.
However, when Allied and NICA troops began freeing and arming freed Dutch POWs
in Ambarawa and Magelang, many locals were angered. Indonesian troops under the
command of Lieutenant Colonel M. Sarbini began besieging Allied troops stationed in
Magelang in reprisal for their attempted disarmament.
On the morning of 23 November 1945, Indonesian troops began firing on Allied
troops stationed in Ambarawa. A counterattack by the Allies forced the Indonesian
Army to retreat to the village of Bedono.
On 11 December 1945, Soedirman held a meeting with various commanders of the
Indonesian Army. The next day at 4:30 AM, the Indonesian Army launched an assault
on the Allies in Ambarawa. Indonesian artillery pounded Allied positions, which were
later overrun by infantry. When the Semarang-Ambarawa highway was captured by
Indonesian troops, Soedirman immediately ordered his forces to cut off the supply
routes of the remaining Allied troops by using a pincer maneuver.
The battle ended four days later on 15 December 1945, when Indonesia succeeded in
regaining control over Ambarawa and the Allies retreated to Semarang.

Assignment II
Put The Generic Structures beside the paragraphs that they represent!
The Java War or Diponegoro War was fought in central Java from 1825 to 1830,
between the colonial Dutch Empire and native Javanese rebels. It started as a
rebellion led by Prince Diponegoro, a leading member of the Javanese aristocracy
who had previously cooperated with the Dutch.
The rebel forces were held up by a siege at Yogyakarta, preventing them from
gaining a quick victory. This allowed the Dutch to raise and ship in new troops. The
rebels adopted guerilla tactics and held out against Dutch forces for several years.
The war ended in Dutch victory when Diponegoro was invited to a peace conference,
then betrayed and captured. Prompted by the cost of the war, the Dutch colonial
authorities implemented major reforms throughout the Dutch East Indies to ensure
the colonies were profitable.
The proximate cause was the Dutch decision to build a road across a piece of
Diponegoro's property that contained his parents' tomb. Amongst other causes was
a sense of resentment felt by members of the Javanese aristocratic families at Dutch
measures intended to restrict the renting out of land at high prices. Finally the
succession of the throne in Yogyakarta was disputed: Diponegoro was the oldest son
of Hamengkubuwono III, but as his mother was not the queen he was not considered
to have the right to succeed his father. Diponegoro's rival to the throne, his younger
half brother, Hamengkubuwono IV, and then his infant nephew Hamengkubuwono
V, was supported by the Dutch.
Being a devout Muslim, Diponegoro was alarmed by the relaxing of religious
observance at Yogyakarta court, the rising influences of the infidel Dutch in the
court, as well as by the court's pro-Dutch policy. Among Diponegoro's followers, the
war has been described as a jihad "both against the Dutch and the murtad or
apostate Javanese.
The forces of Prince Diponegoro were successful in the early stages of the war, taking
control of the middle of Java and besieging Yogyakarta. The Javanese population was
supportive of Prince Diponegoro's cause, whereas the Dutch colonial authorities
were initially indecisive. The Javanese peasantry had been adversely affected by the
implementation of an exploitive cultivation system, which required villages to grow
export crops to be sold to the government at fixed prices.
As the Java war became prolonged, Prince Diponegoro had difficulties in maintaining
the numbers of his troops. The Dutch colonial army, however, was able to fill its
ranks with indigenous troops from Sulawesi, and later on with European
reinforcements from the Netherlands itself. The Dutch commander, General de Kock,
raised the siege of Yogyakarta on 25 September 1825.
Prince Diponegoro then began an extensive guerrilla war. It was not until 1827 that
the Dutch army were able to gain the upper hand through the deployment of mobile
detachments of colonial troops, based in a number of small forts located throughout
central Java.
The rebellion finally ended in 1830, after Prince Diponegoro was tricked into entering
Dutch controlled territory near Magelang, believing he was there for negotiations for
a possible cease-fire. He was captured through treachery and exiled to Manado and
then to Makassar, where he died in 1855.

• Dialog
Interview with the wright brothers
In 1905, there was a TV talkshow that interview great inventors at that time. Below is
a script of interview with the wright brothers.
Host : Hello and welcome to our talkshow tonight, Great Inventors! Today we have
very special guest, Orville and Wilbur Wright. We are going to ask them about their
revolutionary inventions. What do you call your invention?
Orville: we invented airplane
Host : airplane? What is the tool for?
Wilbur: it’s a tool that will help human being to fly
Host : ohhhhh, is it like flying car? How did you get the inspiration
Orville : our dad gave us a toy helicopter that flew with the help of rubber bands. We
have been interested in the idea since then
Wilbur : Orville has always liked to build kites, so, we have experimented with
making our own helicopters for a while now
Host : but that was only a toy, what about the actual plane?
Wilbur : Orville made the dirst flight with our first plane at Kitty Hawk on December
14, 1903
Host : why did you choose Kitty Hawk?
Orville : Kitty Hawk had a hill, good breezes, and was sandy. The condition would
help soften the landings in case of a crash. The first flight lasted 12 seconds and they
flew for 120 feet
Wilbur : we have worked and experimented with gliders to perfect the wing design
and controls since then
Host : I see. So you have had the newest version of your airplane?
Wilbur: yes. Recently, I took a newly designed airplane that we called the flyer II for
the first flight lasting over 5 mintutes
Host : how amazing! I think this invention will be a big thing soon
Wilbur : our father has asked us not to fly together. He said it is for the safety reason.
Orville : yes, we will continue making more experiment so that airplane will be
available for everyone soon
Host : okay, we wish you good luck with the next experiments
