The youth group then founded the Jong Java association, Jong Sumatran Bond, Jong Minahasa, Jong Ambon, Jong Celebes. Subsequently a new association called Jong Indonesia was formed, aimed at realizing the ideals of Indonesian unity on the basis of nationalism.
 
 Starting from the spirit of nationalism, the young people continued to struggle to break away from the colonialism of the Dutch East Indies and Japanese governments. The main objective is to realize the unitary state of the Republic of Indonesia. The struggle was finally successful with the statement of independence read by Sukarno-Hatta on August 17, 1945.

The ability to overcome various parties that undermine, would increasingly strengthen the Republic of Indonesia as a sovereign country.
