Abstract

Abstract

The image of Yogyakarta as a relatively safe area during the Revolution, even for ethnic Chinese, did not mean that Yogyakarta was completely devoid of violence. There was violence in Yogyakarta City (Kota Gede), Bantul Regency, and Sleman Regency (Prambanan). Using literature study and historical research methods, it was found that the two main reasons for the violence were the ambivalence of Chinese political alignment with the Dutch and economic inequality. In addition, the violence influenced the Chinese community's sympathetic view of the Dutch and disappointment with the Republican government.

Abstrak

Citra Yogyakarta sebagai wilayah yang relatif aman pada masa Revolusi, bahkan bagi etnis Tionghoa, tidak berarti Yogyakarta sepenuhnya nihil dari kekerasan. Terdapat kekerasan di Kota Yogyakarta (Kota Gede), Kabupaten Bantul, dan Kabupaten Sleman (Prambanan). Dengan studi literatur dan metode penelitian sejarah, ditemukan bahwa dua alasan utama terjadinya kekerasan adalah ambivalensi keberpihakan politik Tionghoa dengan Belanda dan kesenjangan ekonomi. Selain itu, kekerasan yang terjadi memengaruhi pandangan simpatik masyarakat Tionghoa terhadap Belanda dan kekecewaan terhadap pemerintah Republik.
