Jakarta became Indonesia's capital upon the declaration of independence in August 1945, but the city was soon occupied by British forces, who permitted a gradual re-establishment of Dutch control. The city remained formally the capital, but the most administration moved to Yogyakarta. The Republican city hall, Balai Agung, attempted to maintain the Republic's presence. After the Dutch military action of July 1947, the Balai Agung was removed, but nationalists in Jakarta contrinued to make life difficult for Dutch authorities.
