*During and after the Indonesian National Revolution, which followed the World War II, (1945–1965) around 300.000 people, pre-dominantly '''Indos''', left Indonesia to go to the '''Netherlands'''. This migration was called repatriation. The majority of this group had never set foot in the Netherlands before.<ref>"List of diasporas", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_diasporas#I, acessed 7 July 2021.</ref> | *During and after the Indonesian National Revolution, which followed the World War II, (1945–1965) around 300.000 people, pre-dominantly '''Indos''', left Indonesia to go to the '''Netherlands'''.

===Moluccan Diaspora=== | |||
*As the result of the end of its occupation over the Dutch East Indies in the 1950s, the Netherlands government decided to transport around 12,000 Moluccan soldiers of the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army and their families to Europe, as they had fought on the Dutch side during the Indonesian National Revolution. They were then discharged on arrival, not allowed to work, given pocket money, and 'temporarily' housed in camps. | |||
*Moluccans are the predominantly Melanesian, Austronesian-speaking ethnic group indigenous to the Maluku Islands, also called the Moluccas and historically known as the Spice Islands. | |||
*A small population of Moluccans still live in the Netherlands. This group mainly consists of the '''descendants of KNIL soldiers''' who were originally told to come the Netherlands only temporarily before being sent back to their own independent republic, but were eventually forced to stay due to the Dutch government giving up control of the islands. The remainder consists of Moluccans serving in the '''Dutch navy and their descendants''', as well as some who came to the Netherlands '''from western New Guinea''' after it too was handed over to Indonesia.\However, the vast majority of Moluccans still live in the Moluccas and the other surrounding regions such as '''Papua, East- and West Timor, North Sulawesi, Bali and Java'''.<ref>"Moluccans", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moluccans, accessed 13 July 2021.</ref> | |||
