Q & A

What were the main reasons for the resistance of the Aceh people against the Portuguese?

The resistance of the Aceh people was primarily due to the Portuguese monopoly on trade in Malacca, which threatened the livelihoods of Aceh merchants. Additionally, the Portuguese's prohibition of Aceh merchants from trading in the Red Sea and the seizure of Aceh ships contributed to the resistance.

What were the key events in Aceh's resistance against the Portuguese?

Key events include the 1568 attack by Aceh on Portuguese-held Malacca, followed by another failed Portuguese retaliation in 1569. In 1629, Aceh intensified its efforts against the Portuguese in Malacca, with Sultan Iskandar Muda leading a strong offensive.

How did Aceh manage to sustain its resistance against the Portuguese?

Aceh established alliances with other Muslim kingdoms such as the Ottoman Empire, Persia, and Gujarat. They also received military support, including ships, soldiers, and food from Muslim traders in Java. Furthermore, Aceh’s trade fleets were well-armed, and there was strong collaboration with the kingdoms of Demak and Makassar.

What prompted the Sultan of Demak, Adipati Unus, to launch an attack on Malacca?

Adipati Unus, the Sultan of Demak, launched the attack on Malacca as a response to the Portuguese monopoly over trade, which threatened the Islamic kingdoms in the region, including Demak. The Portuguese's efforts to spread Christianity and dominate trade led to the need for resistance from Demak.

What were the reasons for the failure of Demak's attack on Malacca in 1513?

Demak’s attack failed due to several reasons, including insufficient preparation, the long distance between Java and Malacca, and the technological gap in weaponry, as the Portuguese had modern weapons, while Demak's forces still relied on traditional arms.

What is the historical significance of Fatahillah’s victory in Sunda Kelapa (modern-day Jakarta)?

Fatahillah’s victory in 1527 against the Portuguese in Sunda Kelapa was significant because it led to the renaming of the region to Jayakarta, which later became Jakarta. The victory marked the end of Portuguese control over the area and was a major milestone in the resistance against foreign colonial powers.

What were the reasons for the people of Ternate to resist Portuguese colonialism?

The Ternate people resisted Portuguese colonialism due to the Portuguese monopoly on trade, their interference in Ternate's governance, and the Portuguese's hostility toward Islam. Additionally, the people resented the Portuguese's attempts to impose Christianity and their exploitation of the local population.

How did Sultan Baabullah of Ternate contribute to the resistance against the Portuguese?

After the death of his father Sultan Hairun, Sultan Baabullah led the people of Ternate in a successful five-year war against the Portuguese, which culminated in their victory in 1575, forcing the Portuguese to retreat to the eastern islands.

What led to the Minahasa people's resistance against the Spanish in 1644?

What were the outcomes of the 1643 Minahasa-Spanish war?

The 1643 war resulted in the death of 40 Spanish soldiers, while the Minahasa forces, led by Panglima Monde, lost nine soldiers.
