* The [[Transition to the New Order]] (1965–1968)
** In the early hours of 1 October 1965, [[30 September Movement|a group of army officers]] launched a coup d'état attempt in [[Jakarta]], assassinated six senior [[Indonesian Army]] generals and a junior army officer. They also seized [[Merdeka Square, Jakarta|Merdeka Square]] and proclaimed the establishment of "the Revolutionary Council" through a radio broadcast later in the morning, with [[Untung Syamsuri|Lieutenant Colonel Untung Syamsuri]] as its leader.
** On the same day, [[Suharto|Major General Suharto]] successfully persuaded the soldiers on Merdeka Square to join forces with the Indonesian [[Army Strategic Reserve Command]] divisions and launched a counterattack on the movement, ending the coup attempt. Three days later, the bodies of seven army officers were found buried in an old well in [[Lubang Buaya]] and the bodies were recovered.
** In the aftermath of the coup d'état attempt, the people blamed the attempt on the [[Communist Party of Indonesia]], prompting a [[Indonesian mass killings of 1965-66|mass purge]] against leftists and communist sympathizers across the country. Around 500,000-1,000,000 casualties were massacred. The killings were mostly done by the locals with the help of the Army.
** Soon, mass demonstrations and protests from the [[KAMI (Indonesia)|Indonesian Students' Action Front]] against [[Guided Democracy in Indonesia|President Sukarno's government]] occurred. President Sukarno was notorious for his friendly approach towards the leftists, particularly the Communist Party of Indonesia.
** In the climax of the protests, President Sukarno signed the [[Supersemar]] on 11 March 1966, effectively transferring authority to Major General Suharto to restore order and ensure security in the country. On 12 March 1967, President Sukarno was stripped of his political power by the [[People's Consultative Assembly|Provisional People's Consultative Assembly]] (MPRS) and Major General Suharto became [[Acting presidency of Suharto|acting president]]. Later, he became president [[First inauguration of Suharto|formally]] on 27 March 1968. Sukarno lived under house arrest until his death in June 1970.
