To determine which statement is false regarding Indonesia, let's examine each option:
A. Indonesia was formerly the British East Indies.
To verify this statement, we can use reliable sources such as history books or trusted websites. By conducting a search, we can find that this statement is false. Indonesia was not formerly known as the British East Indies, but rather the Dutch East Indies, as it was a colony of the Netherlands.
B. The first head of Indonesia was Sukarno.
To verify this statement, we can search for information on the first head/leader of Indonesia. By doing so, we find that Sukarno did indeed serve as the first President of Indonesia from 1945 to 1967. This statement is true.
C. The first leader of Indonesia was Suharto.
To verify this statement, we can again search for information on the leaders of Indonesia. By doing so, we find that Suharto served as the second President of Indonesia from 1967 to 1998, succeeding Sukarno. This statement is true.
D. Indonesia was formerly the Netherlands East Indies.
To verify this statement, we can once again conduct a search. By doing so, we find that this statement is true. Before gaining independence, Indonesia was known as the Netherlands East Indies, as it was a Dutch colony.
Based on the information gathered, the false statement is A. Indonesia was never formerly known as the British East Indies.
Oops! I misread it to.
Then A must be false. But to be sure, look up Sukarno and Suharto.
