East Timor (also known as Timor-Leste), emerged as the world's newest nation in 1999 following a referendum on independence from Indonesia who had occupied the country illegally from 1975 - 1999. Prior to the Indonesian occupation, East Timor was a colony of Portuguese and during its long history, little was known of this enigmatic country or its resilient people who endured a long struggle for self-determination.
Since the formal transfer of sovereignty from the United Nations in 2002, East Timor has struggled to define its identity and overcome the many problems inherited from its violent past.
