abstract	The island was colonized by Portugal in 1702 and was known as Portuguese Timor. The Portuguese established outposts in the islands of Timor and Maluku. The Portuguese brought their culture and Christianity to the island. Two centuries later, in 1914, the island of Timor was split in half: the eastern side controlled by the Dutch while the western side controlled by the Portuguese. Despite Portugal's neutrality during World War II, the Empire of Japan occupied the capital of Dili. A guerrilla campaign launched by the Allied forces and the local East Timorese fought hard against the Japanese invaders in what is now known as the Battle of Timor. The Japanese eventually crushed the resistance by driving out the last of the Allied forces, mainly Dutch and Australian. After the war, Japan handed Portuguese Timor back to Portugal, which the country declared independence from in 1975 following the Portuguese Revolution of 1974. Indonesia invaded the island under after fearing the Communists would get a hold of it, declaring the island of Timor the 27th province on July 17, 1976 under the name of Timor Timur. Indonesia's occupation of the island was marked by violence and brutality, as the invasion was supported by the U.S. government. Prior to Doomsday, East Timor was still under Indonesian occupation.
