And the state allocated with one colour like means one for all these sites of a land history. But, nevertheless, Bali conducts an own historical narration. It certainly inseparably linked with the general for Indonesia events and still has unique features.

The first state formations of present Indonesia have arisen in seaside areas in II-V centuries, and all events are connected basically with islands Javas and Sumatra.

Island Bali history, IndonesiaThe historical annals of the Bali which have reached about our years, unfortunately, are avaricious enough and testify that the island history originates approximately in VIII-IX centuries when numerous princedoms there began to be formed. About earlier period practically it is not known, besides, that then was valid influence of China which certificate of presence are the found Chinese coins of VII century and esteemed to Bali drakonoobraznoe deity Barong. In the central area Bali ruins of indo-Buddhist state X-XIII of centuries, and also “Royal tombs” XI centuries, “the Elephant cave” with statue Ganeshi, some sculptures, painting, masks up to now have remained. It is possible to tell, as the island - is an architecture monument. It is the centre of the Indonesian culture, it name Island of thousand temples. Some ancient monuments specify that there was a period of close contacts of governors of Bali and Java. For example, the inscription on a pillar in Belandzhonge says that from the beginning of X century there was a communication between balijskimi princedoms and correcting on the Central Java till this period Buddhist dynasty Sandzhajja.

Communication was not priryvna and in days of reign of the king of Bali Anak Vungsu which has begun at the beginning of XI century as his mother was the Javanese princess, and the father - balijskim the king. Based in XIII century Javanese deodalnoe princedom Madzhapahit has extended the power almost to all territory of Indonesia. In due course the empire which has existed more than two centuries was formed. And as local ruling dynasties of Bali continuously replaced each other, the island gradually got under influence of the powerful neighbour more and more. But the history is not necessary on a place, and many empires have failed. Not minula this bowl and all-powerful Madzhapahit, broken up to some princedoms.

By the end of XV century of Bali has returned the independence. The "gold" century in history of island which was marked by development of the literature and riligii, induistskogo arts has begun.

Religion which many centuries prevailed in territory of Indonesia, was induizm. But it occurred until merchants have not come to the Middle Ages to Java and Sumatra from Northern India. The reference of an overwhelming part of the population in Islam became result of their presence on islands. And though in Indonesia existed and there is a surprising variety of religions and cultures, Islam prevails and to this day. Certainly, in some areas of Java and Sumatra and now it is a lot of induistov. However inhabitants of Bali managed to keep completely practically the belief and traditions to what temples amazing with the greatness testify, mysterious histories and the legends transferred on means of dance. There was it partly therefore and somewhat thanks to that induisty were no time grandiose Javanese feudal princedom Madzhapahit are compelled throughout XIV-XV to migrate centuries on island Bali to keep the religious views though the religion has come here from Java.

In the end of XVI century on islands of Indonesia Portugueses, and then Dutches who very quickly vytjasniv Portugueses, to the middle of XVIII century have grasped Java have come at first.

In current XVII-XVIII of centuries in parallel with the above described events the uniform powerful empire Klungkung to Bali has broken up to small princedoms from which one prospered, others gradually fell into decay. Infinite conflicts weakened the country. At the same time to Bali Islam influence has amplified.

By the end of XVIII century balijskie kings began to accept on service of Muslim mercenaries. Today days remind the balijsko-Muslim villages which have remained since then of it. In XIX - the beginning of XX century Dutches have finished conquest of Indonesia, and all balijskie royal houses have lost the power.

In spite of the fact that island Bali it has been decided to keep in quality of "a live museum” which would exemplify the educated colonialism, as a matter of fact it there was only a visibility of continuity of cultural traditions.

Colonizers carried out the full control over islands of archipelago to the XX-th century middle. The status of the independent state Indonesia has found only in 1957. And in the end of September, 1965 in Indonesia there was a revolution, to the power army command has come, and general Suharto became the president. In history of Indonesia the new epoch - the development and prosperity period has begun. The island Bali has got the special status, becoming the cultural centre of the state.

Travellers hippie train became the first modern tourists who have appeared on island in the end the 60-h-beginning of 70th years of the XX-th century. Gradually Bali as the closest resort were chosen for rest by Australians. Hotels and craft shops have started to supersede coconut groves.
