Summary

TLDRThe script discusses the resistance of the Mataram Sultanate against the VOC (Dutch East India Company) during the reign of Sultan Agung. Sultan Agung aimed to unify Java and expel foreign powers, particularly the VOC, due to their monopolistic trade practices that harmed local merchants. The Sultan led two major attacks on Batavia, in 1628 and 1629, both of which ultimately failed due to the VOC's superior weaponry, destruction of food supplies, and the long distance from Mataram to Batavia. After Sultan Agung's death, his successor, Amangkurat I, proved weak and collaborated with the VOC, causing further unrest.
