About Monument Indië-Nederland

Monument Indië-Nederland is a landmark. Location: Gemeente Amsterdam, North Holland.

From Wikipedia

The Monument Indië-Nederland is located near the Olympiaplein in the southern part of Amsterdam. The monument was originally a memorial for General J. B. van Heutsz, who was the commandant of the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army and is also known for conquering Aceh for the Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1903 following the Aceh War. Because of political pressure the name was changed in 2004 to Monument Indië-Nederland.
