Asia Pacific 57 years ago today: Formation of Malaysia (16 September 1963) https://buff.ly/3iE9f67 In 1961 Indonesia attacked Dutch New Guinea. The dispute was resolved by the United Nations, which transferred the territory to the Indonesians in 1963. Meanwhile Singapore and British Borneo had agreed to merge with the recently independent Federation of Malaya to form the new state of Malaysia. Indonesian opposition to this move led to a 3 year confrontation, which Malaysia won with Commonwealth support (although Singapore left the federation in 1965). #1960s #1963 #20thcentury #asiapacific #britishborneo #carta #cartografia #cartographic #coldwar #historic #historie #historyfacts #historygram #historymajor #historymatters #historynerd #indonesia #malayfederation #malaysia #mapping #maps #modernhistory #sarawak #september #september16 #singapore #vietnamwar #todayinhistory #historytoday #thisdayinhistory (at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)https://www.instagram.com/p/CFMO_qTgcKA/?igshid=110m26vgd8re6 -- source link
