Queen Juliana's reign began in 1948, not 1949.

That's true, for the Netherlands and some other Dutch colonies. BUT, if you read the sources I provided, you'll see Dutch New Guinea was only Dutch from 1949 untill 1962. Queen Juliana also ruled after 1962 (untill her abdication in 1980), but not as monarch of Dutch New Guinea, which this was about.

If you look at the right coloumn, under “Goverment”, you'll see Queen Juliana from 1949 to 1949 as ruler of Dutch New Guinea.
There is a reason why I put sources on as much as possible, to validade my what I claim here AND for futher reading. It's litterally only 5 lines down the text and in top and middle of the right facts-coloumn.
That's also one of the reasons why you have sources in big assignments and publications, basicly anything at universities etc. So you can always back up your claims, the reader can do their own researche and further reading. Even Wikipidia has a referance page in the bottom.
Happy reading!
I have a soft spot for origami paper cranes.
Read or watch about "Sadako Sasaki and the Thousand Paper Cranes".
Spread a little peace and happiness wherever you go :)
