Military action by the Dutch launched on 20 July 1947 against areas controlled by the Indonesian republicans, [[Operation Product]], resulted in the Dutch regaining control of West and East Java, the areas around [[Medan]], [[Palembang]] and [[Padang]] in Sumatra. The [[United Nations]] called for a ceasefire, and negotiations between the two sides led to the [[Renville Agreement]] of January 1948, with a ceasefire along the "[[Van Mook Line]]", which connected the most advanced Dutch positions. The Dutch then established states in the areas they had reoccupied, including East Sumatra (December 1947), Madura and West Java (February 1948), South Sumatra (September 1948) and East Java (November 1948). The leaders of these regions then established the [[Federal Consultative Assembly]].{{sfn|Ricklefs |2008|pp=362–364}}
 
A second Dutch military action, [[Operation Kraai]], aimed at destroying the Republic, was launched on 18 December 1948. Despite recapturing the major cities of Java, including the republican capital of [[Yogyakarta]], and all of Sumatra except [[Aceh]] in the far north, it triggered the protest resignation of the cabinets of the State of East Indonesia and Pasundan (West Java) and the [[Hamengkubuwono IX|Sultan of Yogyakarta]] from his position as regional head. There was also pressure from the [[United States]] and the [[United Nations]], in particular in the form of a Security Council resolution.{{sfn|Ricklefs |2008|pp=370}}{{sfn|Reid|1974|pp=152–158}} The Dutch agreed to negotiations with Indonesia to arrange a transfer of sovereignty. The [[Dutch–Indonesian Round Table Conference]] took place in [[The Hague]] from August to November 1949 and resulted in the Dutch agreeing to hand over sovereignty to the Dutch East Indies, except for [[Western New Guinea]]. However, many Indonesian nationalists believed that the Dutch had insisted on a federal state in an attempt to weaken or even break up the new nation, a manifestation of a "divide and conquer" strategy. Nevertheless, on 27 December 1949, sovereignty was transferred to the United States of Indonesia.{{sfn|Ricklefs |2008|pp=373}}{{sfn|Legge|1964|p=160}}{{sfn|Indrayana|2008|p=8}}{{sfn|Kahin|1961|pp=443–445}}
