Hi Hivers! How's Are You? I hope you are well.
Today I traveled to
The historical moment of the 2nd world war is one thing that the world will never forget. The battle that took place from 1939 to 1945 involved many countries of the world. One of them was Indonesia, to be precise, the island of Morotai, North Maluku, the island of Morotai was one of the silent witnesses of the Allied attack on Japan. Exactly on September 15, 1994, the Allies landed on Morotai Island and took over Morotai Island from Japan.
The attack was led by General Douglash Mac. Arthur was also the one who made Japan retreat and made Indonesia independent. Morotai Island is known as a military base for Allied forces in an attack on Japanese military forces in the Philippines.
The Allies took over the island of Morotai from Japan after the Allied attack on the Japanese Army until Japan admitted defeat and left Indonesia. The tragedy of the world war brought historical stories to Indonesia and made the island of Morotai a historical place with the remnants of the allied forces that still exist on this island.
so that the surrounding community works hand in hand to preserve these items. Seeing this, the local government has participated in cooperating in protecting the relics on this island by building a place to store these relics. but then there was a feud between the community and the local government which delayed the development. However, this is no longer a problem, because in 2012 under the auspices of the central government, the Morotai World War II museum was built by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
Now the historical relics of the 2nd world war have been placed in the museum and become a place for tourists to visit, located on the border of Pandanga and Wawama (Pandawa) villages. Very near from Daruba city center Morotai Island. in addition to tourist attractions by coming to this place, you can also add insight into the history of world war 2 plus there is a Trikora museum next to the Morotai museum so you can open up a lot of historical insight by visiting this Maluku island. Until now this museum is managed by the local community because it is so important and valuable to them that they are able to maintain and preserve all the historical relics found in Morotai.
Among the contents of the World War II Morotai museum, there are 45 types including irons, shotguns, attributes, spoons, forks, plates, bowls, cups, perfume cases, personnel equipment, drink bottles, bullets, bullets, 12.7 bullets, grenades, 12 weapons. ,7, weapons magazines, aircraft engine coolers, steel helmets, bayonets, gun oil containers, gun barrel polishers.
Apart from that, there are also relics such as the tip of the loncer cannon, Japanese radio, cooking stove, plates, oil tank, electric stone, mosquito coil, machine furing, doctors, coins, statues, Japanese masks, razors, lamp lighting, car weser lamps. allied jib, morphine and army injection drugs. Not only the weapons section, this museum also stores the war uniforms of the allied soldiers, Japanese army uniforms, photos of World War II collections, museum mockups, mockups of the location of the Japanese surrender ceremony to the allies.
There are so many historical relics that the Morotai community can protect and preserve so that they can be enjoyed by every successor of the nation, a pride for the people who are able to build important values in each of these relics and hopefully can be passed on by future generations by building a sense of love for the nation and all the history that has happened in this nation.
