The '''Djohor Uprising''' (May 4 – May 30, 1952) was an unsuccessful rebellion against Dutch colonial rule in the Sultanate of Djohor, then part of the Dutch East Indies (present-day [[Soenda]]). Though unsuccessful, the event marked a pivotal moment in the country's history and led to significant political and social changes. The uprising began with the assassination of Dutch administrators and the arrest and execution of Dutch-loyalist police forces by the Sultan's supporters. The brutal counteroffensive by the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army (KNIL) led to widespread atrocities, international condemnation, and the growth of [[National republicanism|National Republicanism]] in Soenda. |
