Abstract

This study examines the trade constellation of ethnic groups (Bumiputera, Arab, Chinese, India and European) in Palembang City from 1945–1950. Several studies on the revolutionary period in the city of Palembang until now still focus on the events of the “War” at that time. Many other exciting themes, such as day-to-day trade economics, have not been studied specifically. This study intends to show how the daily trading conditions carried out by various ethnic groups amid the upheavals of 1945–1950 in Palembang were made by changing the 1945 regime, The Lima Hari Lima Malam War from 1st to 5th January 1947, and the position of Palembang as the capital of the state of South Sumatra from 1948 to 1950 as the main background to express it. Using the historical method to analyze various sources found, the study’s results show that the regime change in 1945 caused a shift in the trade orientation of different ethnic groups that no longer applied social class. In addition, the Dutch control over the city of Palembang after winning the Lima Hari Lima Malam War from 1st to 5th January 1947 and strengthened by the implementation of the federal system by making Palembang the capital of the State of South Sumatra 1948–1950 caused a change in trading patterns due to the Dutch conducting a blockade in Musi River and control over several vital infrastructures such as the Port of Palembang which affects the distribution of various trading commodities.
