The Dutch East Indies, also known as the Netherlands East Indies), was a Dutch colony that became Indonesia in 1949. Based on the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824, the Dutch have ceded the Dutch Malacca to Britain, which was before a governorate of the Dutch East Indies. This has consolidated modern-day rule to Malacca state of Malaysia. The Dutch East Indies was formed from the nationalised trading posts of the Dutch East India Company, which came under the administration of the Dutch government in 1800.

At the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives, the Dutch reign reached the greatest territorial extent in the early 20th century. The Dutch East Indies was one of the most exploited colonies under European rule.
