After the Second World War, Gandhist protests began in Nusantara. Eventually they were successful and British colonies in Nusantara were given independence as several nations. These nations felt that unification would empower them and so Java and Malaya unified in 1953. Eventually, invasions and admissions led to it holding its present-day territories by 1970. This began an era of prosperity despite Singapore declaring independence in 1980.
