In 1930 continued his study at Leiden University, Netherland.The young sultan had a western education, but he was also aware about his Javanese roots. He developed himself into a reformed, which gave real support to the independence movement in the dark days of the revolution. Directly after the declaration of Indonesian independence at 17 August 1945 Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX as well as Paku Alam VIII decided to support the newly formed republic. In early 1946, the capital of Indonesia was quietly replaced to Yogyakarta, in that time the sultan gave the new government some funds. The Dutch didn't dare to overthrow the sultan. During the six month long occupation in 1949 they tried, with no success, to get the leadership of a new pan-Jawanese state. During this entire period the sultan had personal contact with the republican guerrilla troops, which operated from the surrounding villages. Because he openly supported the revolution, his empire got the status of special region, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, with the sultan as governor and Sri Paku Alam VIII as vice-governor, named for life and directly responsible for the central government, and not to the governor of Central Jawa.
