Line 43:
With the rebels contained to the city, a 5-day-long shelling of the city was started, destroying much of the old city and killing countless civilians. After the shelling KNIL troops were led lose upon the city and it was here that what modern-day Sunda historians call the Butchering of Johor started. KNIL soldiers started wide-scale executions against anyone who could pose a threat, they set fire to the parts of the city not destroyed and eventually headed towards the sultan's palace.
In the palace what happened is not clear but what is clear is on that day that the Johor lineage ended.
To this day this remains a highly controversial topic.
