Indonesia Malaysia confrontation

The Indonesia Malaysia confrontation (also known as Konfrontasi in Indonesian and Malay) was an undeclared war between Indonesia and United Kingdom-backed Malaysia over the future of the island of Borneo from 1962 to 1966. The origins of the conflict lay in Indonesian attempts to destabilise the new federation of Malaysia, which came into being in 1963.
