island closer to java. The Majapahit kingdom of java even mentioned two
territories in Irian Jaya, Onion and Seram. However it is certain that
trade between some of the Maluccan islands or perhaps even java, and the
Irian existed long before this. Were well-known trade items. And Sultan

During World War II, Irian Jaya,
Especially Biak, Jayapura, Sarmi, Manokwari and Sorong were once
base of the Pacific War. Led by General Mac Arthur, Allied Force attacked
Japanese troops and forced them out. As result there are a lot of war
remains throughout the island. The Dutch colonized the country of
Indonesia, including Irian Jaya for years.
Papua/Irian Jaya , known before 1973 as
Irian Barat or West Papua, comprises the west half of the island
of New Guinea - the World’s second largest island
after Greenland . It is Indonesia’s largest , most remote , and
least populated province . Large areas have yet to be explored, and
this is one of the few parts of the worlds where maps can still
legitimately be marked “Here be Dragon “
