Indonesian history has been influenced by other nations. Indonesian archipelago became an important trade region since at least the 7th century, when the Srivijaya Kingdom religious relations and trade with China and India. Kingdoms of Hinduism and Buddhism have developed in the early Christian era, followed the traders who brought Islam, and various European powers fought one another to monopolize the spice trade in the Moluccas during the era of ocean exploration. After being under Dutch rule, Indonesia declared its independence at the end of World War II. Indonesia next challenged by natural disasters, corruption, separatism, the process of democratization and the period of rapid economic change.
From Sabang to Merauke, Indonesia consists of various ethnic, linguistic and religious differences. The Javanese are the largest ethnic group and most politically dominant. Indonesia's national motto, "Diversity single ika" ( "Diversity remains one"), means the diversity that shapes the country. Besides having a big population and a dense region, Indonesia has a natural area that supports the level of biodiversity in the world's second largest.
The word "Indonesia" is derived from the Latin Indus, meaning "Indian" and the word in Greek nesos, meaning "island". So, the word means the territory of East Indonesia islands, or islands in the Indies, which indicates that this name formed long before Indonesia became a sovereign state. In 1850, George Earl, a British ethologist, originally proposed the term Indunesia and Malayunesia to residents "Indian Archipelago or Malayan Archipelago". Pupils from Earl, James Richardson Logan, used Indonesia as a synonym for the word of the Indian Archipelago. However, Dutch academics writing in the media the Dutch East Indies Indonesia does not use the word, but the terms Malay Archipelago (Maleische Archipel); Dutch East Indies (Nederlandsch Oost Indië), or the Indies (Indie); East (de Oost); and even Insulinde (this term Introduced in 1860 in the novel Max Havelaar (1859), written by Multatuli, the criticism of Dutch colonialism).
From 1900, the name Indonesia became more common in academic circles outside the Netherlands, and Indonesian nationalist groups adopted it for political expression. Adolf Bastian, of the University of Berlin popularize this name through the book Indonesien oder die Inseln des Malayischen Archipels, 1884-1894. Indonesia's first students to use is Suwardi Suryaningrat (Ki Hajar Dewantara), when he founded the Dutch news agency named Englisch Press Bureau in the year 1913.
