Historical recount example :

.·:*¨༺ Bandung Sea Of Fire ༻¨*:·.

The Bandung Sea of Fire was a historical moment for Indonesian independence. It was the intentional burning of much of the southern side of Bandung during the Indonesian national revolution on March 24, 1946.  The event came to be known as Bandung Sea of Fire or Bandung Lautan Api. Hundreds of Indonesian nationalists were singing Halo – Halo Bandung to show that they were proud of what they have done.

The British commander gave an ultimatum to the Indonesian troops to leave Bandung. The troops responded differently. They mobilized people to burn the southern part of Bandung as they left on March 24, 1946. Houses and buildings were burned deliberately creating a horrifying scheme. 

In March 1946, a member of Indonesia militia, Mohammad Toha, during the evacuations smuggled dynamite left by Japanese and Dutch troops. The dynamite was smuggled into the Dutch military headquarters in the Dayeuh Kolot region. Mohammad Toha detonated the dynamite in the warehouse. He killed himself with several Japanese and Dutch troops. The explosion of the dynamite created a small lake in the area. The name Mohammad Toha was then used for the main street in Dayeuh Kolot.

The Bandung Sea of Fire showed us that Indonesian combatants were very loyal to the country. They did not want to leave anything for the colonial and British armies. The event was a great example of how Indonesian would sacrifice everything to reach their goal.
