it was a land grab. a land full of the most amazing mineral resources which they raped.
the dutch sold the papuans out.they promised a 10 year transition to independance but then renegged because of pressure from the UN. it was given to indonesia as a kind of gift to prevent them from siding with russia in the cold war.
