Sejarah Indonesia

Sejarah Indonesia sebenarnya telah dimulai pada masa kerajaan. Sebelum dan sesudah nusantara disatukan oleh Sumpah Palapa-nya Gajah Mada, di wilayah Indonesia telah berdiri kerajaan-kerajaan yang menjadi cikal bakal bangra ini.

Pada zaman dahulu di wilayah Sumatra terdapat Kerajaan Sriwijaya yang pernah menjadi penguasa maritim dan digunakan sebagai pusat pendidikan Buddha dari seluruh dunia. Kerajaan besar ini juga merupakan pusat perdagangan dan berkembang pesat dari abad ke-7 hingga ke-13.

Di antara abad ke 8 dan 10 berdiri dua dinasti besar yaitu Syailendra dan Sanjaya membuktikan adanya sejarah baru di pulau Jawa. Kedua dinasti ini membawa pengaruh besar penyebaran agama Hindu dan Budha di Indonesia.

Hadirnya kedua dinasti ini juga meninggalkan sebuah mahakarya besar berupa candi Borobudur dan Prambanan.

Runtuhnya kedua dinasti ini tak membuat eksistensi kerajaan di Pulau Jawa memudar karena muncul Majapahit di Jawa Timur pada tahun 1293.

Lalu pada tahun 1294, nusantara terbentuk berkat perjuangan Mahapatih Gajah Mada dari Kerajaan Majapahit

Wilayah keluasaan Kerajaan Majapahit bahkan disebut-sebut menyerupai perbatasan Indonesia saat ini, bahkan hingga ke sebagian area Malaysia

Runtuhnya era Hindu-Budha ditandai dengan kedatangan pedagang-pedagang Timur Tengah yang menyebarkan agama Islam di Indonesia Berlanjut ke sejarah Indonesia masa penjajahan yang dimulai dengan datangnya Marcopolo disusul bangsa Spanyol dan Portugis
