His rebellion, known as the Java War, became one of the largest and most costly wars for the Dutch.

What strategy did the Dutch use to defeat Pangeran Diponegoro?

Additionally, the Dutch aimed to assert control over Bali’s political independence, which led to several kingdoms resisting Dutch authority.

How did Pangeran Antasari lead the resistance in Kalimantan?

Pangeran Antasari led the resistance in Kalimantan due to the Dutch monopolizing trade, imposing heavy taxes, and interfering in the royal succession of the Banjar Sultanate.

What role did Sisingamangaraja XII play in the resistance against the Dutch in Tapanuli?
