Indonesian regions
Historically, at different times of Indonesia's history - the nation has been designated as having regions that do not necessarily correlate to the current administrative or physical geography of the territory of the nation.
The most recent period of time where the boundaries were in flux between administrative and conceptual regions was during the 1940s when - due to the Second world war - occupation of the various former Dutch territory had become occupied by allied forces.
Eastern Indonesia
During the last stages of the Dutch colonial era - east of Bali was known as the Great East - and later known as East or Eastern Indonesia.
On December 24th 1946 there was a State of East Indonesia - and this lasted until August 16 1950.
Many academic texts freely have 'Eastern Indonesia' as part of the their titles or sub-stitles.
