    Assalamualaikum Wr. Wb.
    Good morning, Teachers. I am Qyara A. Anindya
    from class XII IPS 2. Today, I will be presenting
    you my recount text about the Battle of Surabaya

    Title Battle of Surabaya


    Orientation The Battle of Surabaya was fought between pro-
    independence Indonesian soldiers and militia against
    British and British Indian troops as a part of the
    Indonesian National Revolution.

    Events The peak of the battle was in November 1945. The


    battle was the heaviest single battle of the revolution
    and became a national symbol of Indonesian
    resistance. Fighting broke out on 30 October after the
    British commander, Brigadier A. W. S. Mallaby was
    killed in a skirmish. Although the Colonial forces largely
    captured the city in three days, the poorly armed
    Republicans fought for three weeks, and thousands
    died as the population fled to the countryside.

    The battle and defense mounted by the Indonesians


    galvanized the nation in support of independence and
    helped garner international attention. For the Dutch, it
    removed any doubt that the Republic was not simply a
    gang of collaborators without popular support. It also
    had the effect of convincing Britain that wisdom lay on
    the side of neutrality in the revolution; within a few
    years, in fact, Britain would support the Republican
    cause in the United Nations.
    Reorientation Considered a heroic effort by Indonesians, the battle
    helped galvanize Indonesian and international support
    for Indonesian independence. 10 November is
    celebrated annually as Heroes’ Day.

    That is all for my recount text presentation about the Battle of Surabaya. I hope that my
    presentation can provide information about the said event. Wassalamu’alaikum Wr. Wb.
