Units of the Australian military occupied the eastern islands of the Netherlands East Indies in the period between the end of the Pacific War in August 1945 and the re-establishment of the Dutch colonial government in the region in early 1946. While British-led forces in Java and Sumatra became drawn into the Indonesian National Revolution, the Australian Government and military successfully managed to avoid being caught up in the conflict.
