Outlines
🌍 British Expansion in Indonesian Spice Trade
The first paragraph details the British arrival in Indonesia, driven by the European demand for spices as essential preservatives and food during winter. It narrates the Portuguese success in securing trade relations in the Maluku Islands and the development of Lisbon as a major spice trade hub. The British, initially profiting from the Portuguese, faced difficulties during the 80 Years' War, prompting them to seek independent spice sources. The narrative includes the first British maritime expedition led by Francis Drake and Thomas Cavendish, which successfully reached Ternate and brought back spices. This success led to increased British interest in Southeast and East Asian trade, culminating in the establishment of the East India Company (EIC) in 1600. The British continued to explore and eventually established trade in the Indonesian archipelago, challenging the Dutch monopoly through the EIC, despite military setbacks and local influence.
🏛 British Administration and Reforms in Java
The second paragraph focuses on the British administration of Java under the leadership of Lord Minto, who appointed Raffles as the Lieutenant Governor. Raffles implemented a system of 16 residencies, which was continued by the Dutch until the end of colonial rule. His administration introduced Western-style governance, economic reforms including the abolition of export obligations and land tax, and changes to the legal system. Raffles also attempted to implement a land rent system but faced challenges due to difficulties in land measurement and the traditional nature of land ownership. Despite abolishing forced labor and slavery, Raffles was accused of similar violations. His contributions to knowledge included writing 'History Of Java' and 'History of the East Indian Archipelago,' and the discovery of the Rafflesia Arnoldii, believed to be the world's largest flower. The paragraph concludes with the geopolitical shifts leading to the signing of the London Convention in 1814, which marked the end of British rule in Indonesia and the return of Dutch control in 1816.
