Abstract

This article discusses the relevance of Total People's War in the context of the Revolutionary War, focusing on Indonesia's struggle for independence. From the Kalijati Agreement to the Independence, the research highlights how the concept of Total People's War influences both physical warfare and diplomacy in the fight for independence. Through a comparative approach between global revolutionary wars and Indonesia, the role of civilian populations in strengthening resistance against colonizers is emphasized. By analyzing the history, outcomes, and implications of the Total People's War, the article underscores the importance of this concept in ensuring a nation's independence. Thus, the article provides deep insights into how the Total People's War plays a crucial role in revolutionary wars and the significance of engaging the entire population in defending national sovereignty.
