Battle of Surabaya

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.
On 27 October 1945, a British plane from Jakarta dropped leaflets over
Surabaya urging all Indonesian troops and militia to surrender their weapons. The
leaders of the Indonesian troops and militia were angered, seeing it as a breaking of the
agreement reached with Mallaby earlier.
