In all the time leading up to this, they have variously been under colonisation by the Netherlands, Indonesia and Portugal, leading all the way back to their invasion by Portugal in 1769. With so many foreign powers involved, it’s hard to get an idea of where its own local identity lies or hell, even why it’s specifically East Timor. To get to grips with the meaning of the name, we’ll have to take a closer look at the history.
