Aceh, Insurgency in

Years: 1976 - 2005

The insurgency in Aceh is waged by the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) in order to obtain independence from Indonesia between 1976 and 2005.

Destruction caused by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake brings a peace deal and an end to the insurgency.

"History should be taught as the rise of civilization, and not as the history of this nation or that. It should be taught from the point of view of mankind as a whole, and not with undue emphasis on one's own country. Children should learn that every country has committed crimes and that most crimes were blunders. They should learn how mass hysteria can drive a whole nation into folly and into persecution of the few who are not swept away by the prevailing madness."

—Bertrand Russell, On Education (1926)
