It was not until more than 300 years later, in 1942, when the Dutch surrendered to the Japanese, that the city of Batavia rapidly fell into decay as many of its buildings were vandalized and looted for war materials. Following the Japanese surrender, Indonesia declared independence from the Netherlands in 1945, and since then the old part of Jakarta has remained abandoned.
