Q & A

What was the purpose of the PPKI (Pemufakatan Perhimpunan-Perhimpunan Politik Kebangsaan Indonesia)?

The PPKI aimed to unite various political ideologies in Indonesia, despite their differences, to promote the nationalist cause. It was established in 1927 and sought to bring together various groups such as nationalists, religious-based groups, and even those cooperating with the colonial government.
