POLITICAL TRANSFORMATION

Before the Dutch’s arrival, former Dutch East Indies was once ruled by several large empires, such as the last and most powerful of these early Hindu-Javanese kingdoms, the 14th century Majapahit Empire. It once dominated much of what is now known as Java, maintaining contacts with trading outposts as far away as the west coast of Papua New Guinea.
The King used religion as a tool to govern. He governed the people with ways of cults and devils. How Undesirable!
Thankfully, all came to an end with the arrival of the Dutch East Company, who brought light to the native. They successfully reformed the political system, giving the natives civilization and prosperity.
Governor Generals have been appointed to protect the interest. A Council of Indies has also been created. This reform would help the natives in their living and livelihood, as well as protect the interests and economic objectives of the Dutch in this land.
Moreover, the centralized system has eliminated the influence of the undeserved king and his elites. Instead of following his rule, the local are now under the regulation of the Dutch, which increased the economic efficiency and helped in the progress of making this land a modernized South East Asia country.
