During his tenure as Secretary of State, Marshall also urged President Harry S. Truman to immediately called for The Netherlands to stop their invasion of Indonesia and immediate armistice. Marshall also urged The Netherlands to immediately withdraw from Indonesia and transfer all of the sovereignty to Indonesia as part of Marshall Asian policy. However The Netherlands ignored Marshall and Truman's administration pressure and resume its invasion of Indonesia in-order to re-occupied Indonesia as their previous colony, on-which Indonesia has declared their Independence on August 17, 1945. As a result the Marshall Plan program for The Netherlands economic recovery was put on hold and the Truman Administration threatened to cut all of The Netherlands economic aid program, if The Netherlands didn't immediately withdraw from Indonesia. Under pressure from Truman administration and as an effort of Secretary of State George Marshall in arbitrating the conflict between The Netherlands and Republic of Indonesia, The Netherlands finally agree to withdraw from Indonesia and transferred all of its sovereignty to the newly independent Republic of Indonesia following the Dutch–Indonesian Round Table Conference in 1949.
