The Proclamation of Indonesian Independence was held on Friday, August 17, 1945.
On August 6, 1945 an atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima by the United States which began to demoralize Japanese soldiers around the world. A day later, the Indonesian Independence Preparatory Committee for Investigation (abbreviated BPUPK; Japanese: , Dokuritsu Junbi Chōsa-kai), changed its name to the Preparatory Committee for Indonesian Independence (abbreviated PPKI; Japanese: , Dokuritsu Junbi Iin- kai), to further emphasize the desire and goal of achieving Indonesian independence. On August 9, 1945, a second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, causing Japan to surrender to the United States and its allies. This moment was also used by Indonesia to proclaim its independence.
