On March 9th 1942, Japan succeeded in taking it over from Netherlands, but on August 14th 1945 Japan gave up to Alliance Army. On the independence day, Sumatera became one province with Medan as the capital. There was a national meeting in Bukittinggi on April 18th 1946, decided to split Sumatera into 3 sub-provinces. Those sub-provinces are Sumatera Utara, Sumatera Tengah and Sumatera Selatan. Jambi Residency was then included into Sumatera Tengah Sub-Province. In 1948, those sub-provinces were legitimated as provinces, but the people of Jambi Residency wanted to make Jambi as a province. With all efforts done by them, then Jambi Province was legitimated on January 6th, 1957. This date then became the anniversary of Jambi Province until now.
