Suharto served as the second President of Indonesia from 1967 to 1998. He introduced a lot of economic and political stability to the country, but at the expense of an authoritarian regime that ended up backfiring on itself. The corruption and inner turmoil of his government eventually led to his downfall ten years before his death. Suharto used his place in politics to install new rules and regulations for Indonesia’s economy, but these moves ended up breaking down at the end of Suharto’s rule. However, he encouraged Western aid and collaboration and also helped Indonesia avoid a complete communist takeover.
