| Abstract | ||
| This research tackles an issue which have not been studied well before. It is the Indonesian occupation of Eastern Timor and the international attitudes toward it, in particular, the American. Up to the onset of this century, relative truths remained absent because of the strategies of the international alliances during the cold war. After the end of the cold war and the publishing of a lot of documents, which the United States kept secret before, many issues appeared, and they need to be studied again in order to disclose the expansionist policy of Indonesia toward Eastern Timor. The research shows that occupying Eastern Timor and preventing its people from self-determination after getting rid of the Portugal colonization was an international conspiracy which Indonesia, the United States, Britain, Australia and New Zealand participated in when there was no serious and strong position from the Eastern Camp, and the Timor people paid for that; they got rid of the Portugal colonization to find themselves under the Indonesian occupation which they could not dismiss until the end of the cold war and the change of the international relations | ||
