Suharto (1921-2008) was an Indonesian military and political leader who served as the second President of Indonesia from 1967 to 1998. He rose to power following a period of political instability, taking control after the failed coup in 1965 which led to the mass killing of alleged communists.
Suharto established an authoritarian regime known as the “New Order,” emphasizing economic development, political stability, and anti-communism. His government attracted significant foreign investment, leading to substantial economic growth, but was also marked by widespread corruption and human rights abuses.
Suharto’s rule saw the invasion and occupation of East Timor in 1975, resulting in international condemnation. Facing a severe economic crisis and growing unrest, he resigned in 1998, leaving behind a complex legacy of economic progress and political repression. Suharto passed away in 2008, remembered both for his role in Indonesia’s development and for his authoritarian governance.
