TIMOR TIMUR ( Timor Leste ) PPS.flv

East Timor was colonized by Portugal in the 16th century, and was known as Portuguese Timor until Portugal's decolonization of the country. In late 1975, East Timor declared its independence, but later that year was invaded and occupied by Indonesia and was declared Indonesia's 27th province the following year. In 1999, following the United Nations-sponsored act of self-determination, Indonesia relinquished control of the territory and East Timor became the first new sovereign state of the 21st century on May 20, 2002. East Timor is one of only two predominantly Roman Catholic countries in Asia, the other being the Philippines.

Legacy of shamful Portugal's decolonization in all the ex-colonies,as well the cold war era resulting in a lot of suffering and destrution of the country.

In 1975, after 460 years of Portuguese rule Fretilin declared independence for the small nation. Ten days later, Indonesia invaded. Fretilin fought the Indonesian military for the next twenty four years. A third of the population, over 250,000 people died as a result of the occupation. This was the highest death rate per capita in any genocide in the 20th century.
