Indonesia's history is heavily influenced by other nations. The Indonesian archipelago has been an important trading area since the 7th century, namely since the establishment of the Srivijaya Kingdom, a Hindu-Buddhist empire based in Palembang. The Srivijaya Kingdom established religious and trade relations with China and India, as well as with the Arabs. Hindu and/or Buddhist kingdoms began to grow in the early 4th century to the 13th century AD, followed by traders and scholars from the Arabian peninsula who brought Islam around the 8th century to the 16th century, as well as the arrival of the Muslim nation. Europe at the end of the 15th century fought each other to monopolize the spice trade of Maluku during the era of ocean exploration. After being under Dutch colonial rule for almost 3 centuries, Indonesia, then known as the Dutch East Indies, declared its independence at the end of World War II, precisely on August 17, 1945. Furthermore, Indonesia faced various challenges and serious problems, ranging from frequent natural disasters, massive corruption, social conflicts, separatist movements, democratization processes, and periods of development, socio-economic-political change and development, and rapid modernization.
