Sejarah Singkat Kerajaan Mataram Islam
Summary
TLDRThe Mataram Islamic Kingdom, founded by Panembahan Senopati in 1586, played a key role in the spread of Islam in Java and famously resisted Dutch colonial forces under Sultan Agung (1613-1645). At its peak, it thrived with strong agricultural economics and cultural development. However, after Sultan Agung's death, internal conflicts and alliances with the VOC weakened the kingdom.
