The Dutch began to colonize Indonesia in the early 17th century; Japan occupied the islands from 1942 to 1945. Indonesia declared its independence after Japan''s surrender, but it required four years of intermittent negotiations, recurring hostilities, and UN mediation before the Netherlands agreed to transfer sovereignty in 1949. Indonesia''s first free parliamentary election took place in 1999. Indonesia is now the world''s third-largest democracy, the world''s largest archipelagic state, and home to the world''s largest Muslim population.
