The Battle of Ambarawa was a battle between the recently created Indonesian Army and the
British Army that occurred between 20 October and 15 December 1945 in Ambarawa, Indonesia.
On 20 October 1945, Allied troops under the command of Brigadier Bethell landed in Semarang
to disarm Japanese troops. Initially, the troops were welcomed in the area, with Central Java’s
governor Wongsonegoro agreeing to provide them with food and other necessities in return for
the Allies’ promise to respect Indonesia’s sovereignty and independence.
However, when Allied and NICA troops began freeing and arming freed Dutch POWs in
Ambarawa and Magelang, many locals were angered. Indonesian troops under the command of
Lieutenant Colonel M. Sarbini began besieging Allied troops stationed in Magelang in reprisal
for their attempted disarmament.
On the morning of 23 November 1945, Indonesian troops began firing on Allied troops stationed
in Ambarawa. A counterattack by the Allies forced the Indonesian Army to retreat to the village
of Bedono.
On 11 December 1945, Soedirman held a meeting with various commanders of the Indonesian
Army. The next day at 4:30 AM, the Indonesian Army launched an assault on the Allies in
Ambarawa. Indonesian artillery pounded Allied positions, which were later overrun by infantry.
When the Semarang-Ambarawa highway was captured by Indonesian troops, Soedirman
immediately ordered his forces to cut off the supply routes of the remaining Allied troops by
using a pincer maneuver.
The battle ended four days later on 15 December 1945, when Indonesia succeeded in regaining
control over Ambarawa and the Allies retreated to Semarang.

Among the biggest sport events in the world are the Olympic Games. They began in Greece long
ago. The Olympic Games was held once every four years at Olympia. Olympic athletes had to be
male, of Greek nationality, and not slaves. Women were prohibited from watching the Games in
the stadium.
At first, the Olympic Games included only one event, a running race. Later the Games had more
events; long jumps, javelin, boxing, chariot racing, and horse riding in the hippodrome. The only
prize the winner received was a crown of olive leaves. However, it was great honor to win.
When the Romans subjugated Greece, the Olympic Games became major sport events, and the
winner got bigger prizes. Then people began to cheat, so the Roman Emperor Theodosius banned
the games.
In 1896 a Frenchman, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, revived the Olympic Games. The games were
held in Greece. At this point the first modern Olympic Games began. Now the Games were held
in different countries. The games are officially opened by lighting of the Olympic torch. Runners
carry the Olympic Flame from Greece all the way to the host country.
Now, the modern Olympic Games have nearly 400 events, many of which are team sport.
