During the 1945-1949 independence struggle against the Dutch rule, Bandung was one of the heaviest battle places.
Since Indonesia gained independence in 1945, the city has seen rapid development and urbanization, with a growing number of travelers.
The first Asian-African Conference, or the Bandung Conference, was held here on April 18-24, 1955, with the attendance of leaders from 29 countries.
