Yamato Hotel incident

The Hotel Yamato incident was the tearing of the blue colour of the Dutch flag flying at Hotel Yamato (now Hotel Majapahit) on 19 September 1945, in Surabaya, Indonesia. It was preceded by the failure of negotiations between Soedirman (Surabaya residency) and W. V. C. Ploegman, a Dutch official, to lower the Dutch flag.
