The Hague, popularly known as the "Indies Eurasian capital of the world", not only for historic reasons, but also because of the widespread familiarity among the people of The Hague with the Indies culture. From 1945 until the mid-sixties, roughly 300,000 people migrated from Indonesia to the Netherlands. Most of them were people of mixed descent (Eurasians, "Indos"), born and raised in the Dutch East Indies. The integration of these migrants into Dutch society was a success story. Indos today are hardly considered an ethnic minority by the native Dutch, and nor are they classified as such by the government.
