On midnight July 20th, 1947, the Linggadjati agreement was effectively torn up as the Dutch East Indies army launched an offensive against the Indonesian Nationalists, this was known as "Operation Product." The aim was to take over the remaining areas controlled by the Indonesian independence movement, by bombing, sea landings and direct military action. It was planned as the start of the quashing of the dream of an independent Indonesia, and the beginning of an established colonial government. The offensive was met with hard resistance, and many civilians were killed, it also triggered international condemnation from many nations, especially Australia, India, the Soviet Union, and the United States. The result of this military action exposed internationally the reality of this independence war, and the stark fact that a popular uprising against the continuation of colonialism was being put down by force alone. The plan for "Operation Product" to re-establish colonial rule in Indonesia, turned into a gradual dawning of a free Indonesia, despite the ground initially won by the forces who started this battle.
