East Timor's independence came from which country?
Portugal
Australia
Malaysia
Indonesia
Reveal Answer
Correct Answer:
Indonesia
Explanation:
East Timor’s independence followed the end of Indonesian rule. Indonesia invaded and occupied East Timor in 1975 and controlled it for about 24 years. The turning point came in 1999, when a United Nations–supervised referendum showed the Timorese choosing independence from Indonesia. After international intervention, Indonesia withdrew and East Timor became a sovereign nation in 2002. While East Timor was formerly a Portuguese colony, the modern path to independence came through ending Indonesian occupation, not through Portugal. Australia and Malaysia did not grant independence.
