East Timor, also known as Timor-Leste, comprises the eastern half
of the island of Timor, located at the eastern end of the
Indonesian archipelago. East Timor was among the last of colonial
territories to become independent, and it actually had to be
liberated twice. First, after more than four centuries of
Portuguese colonial rule, it achieved independence in 1975 only to
be invaded and occupied by Indonesia. After a blood-soaked
occupation of 24 years and following intense international
pressure, the Jakarta-regime only grudgingly allowed East Timor to
form a nation of its own in 1999. Since then, the new state has
faced further armed clashes and is only now able to seriously
engage in nation-building. Historical Dictionary of East Timor
relates the turbulent history of this country through a chronology,
an introductory essay, an expansive bibliography, and over 200
cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant persons, events,
places, organizations, and other aspects of East Timor history from
the earliest times to the present.
