First Papuan War

First Papuan War was a war of national liberation conducted by the Communist Party of Papua against Australian occupation. It was mostly seen as a spillover of the Australian revolution.

Australia had to withdrew their troops from Papua due to war in its lands against the PR Australiaball that cooperated with the Papuan communists. Which guaranteed de facto independence to Papua but it was only recognized later after the communist victory in Australia and dissolution of the old government.

Papua was officially independent from Australia but the Communist Party couldn’t proclaim the republic because many anti-communist insurgents from Australia went to Papua and started to push for the creation of another thing there.

This resulted in the Second Papuan War.
