Portuguese-Dutch border finalized by the Hague, resolving territorial dispute.

In the early 20th century, a border dispute arose between Portuguese Timor and Dutch Timor, both colonial territories seeking to establish clear boundaries. Negotiations led to a definitive border delineation between the Portuguese and Dutch territories in The Hague. This agreement brought an end to the uncertainty and conflicts that had long persisted over territorial claims in the Timor region. The drawing of the border in The Hague had a significant impact on the local populations, as it provided a sense of stability and clarity concerning land ownership and governance. It also allowed for the establishment of more organized and structured administration within each colonial territory. The event in The Hague marked a milestone in the colonial history of Timor, shaping the future development and governance of the region. The agreement reached between Portugal and the Netherlands paved the way for more peaceful coexistence and cooperation between the two colonial powers in the Timor region. #TimorColonialHistory #PortugueseDutchBorder #TheHagueAgreement #TerritorialDisputeResolved
