Useful IOTL Information (Pre-Augustine)

Johor Empire

• An empire ruled by the Malaccan dynasty, descendants of the last Sultan of Malacca in 1511. Johor Sultan maintained right to rule based on Hindu and Muslim kingship

• Allied with the Dutch in 1606 and made a treaty: Johor stays independent and thrives on trade, Malacca is Dutch (conquered in 1641), and Aceh is kept at bay

• Dutch maintained Portuguese system of tolls, passes, and monopolies on certain trades. This put Malacca into decline, Johor became more prosperous

• Johor only allied with the Dutch because they kicked out the Portuguese, and used this to justify Dutch ownership of Malacca “they could have done much worse than just occupy Malacca”

• 1699: Last ruler of the Malaccan dynasty of Johor was killed, Prime Minister Abdul Jalil took over and ruled until 1717

• 1717-1722 war between Abdul Jalil and Malaccan dynasty heir claimant. Abdul Jalil won with the help of Bugis explorers

• In return, Bugis princes got mineral and mining rights within Johor territory, founding the Sultanate of Riau-Lingga under suzerainty of Johor

• Johor in 1700s decentralized and unstable, game of balance between local rulers

• Rivalry between the Bugis and the Malay intensified in the 1700s

• Bugis power weakened in 1746 when the Bugis Prince fucked up, but restored by 1760 (brief interregnum in Riau)

• Pretender to the Malaccan dynasty throne still in Siak Sri Indrapura, threatening Johor, forcing them to keep the Bugis around

• 1760 several Johor sultans died in a row, so the Bugis took the opportunity to increase their power. Chose infant prince as the new Sultan Mahmud Riayat Shah as puppet ruler

• Sultan Mahmud made treaty of protection with VOC in 1784 to exploit Dutch-Bugis rivalry • Raja Mohamad, mixed Malay-Bugis prince and son of the Grand Duke, viable candidate for throne challenged by Raja Ali. 1800-1804 crisis, no one wins

Kingdom of Gowa

• Kingdom formed by Nine Clans coming together ~1300, Islamized 1605

• 1616-37 war with Dutch, forced to recognize interest in Spice Isles

• 1644 sub-kingdom of Bone rebellion

• 1654 Sultan refused to ratify Treaty, war again, another treaty in 1655, Dutch declared war again in 1660, made new treaty

• 1660 treaty: Dutch kept Gowan hostages in Batavia, forced them to kick out Portuguese from Sulawesi

• 1666-1669: Bugis-Dutch invasion of Gowa, led by Bugis Prince Arung Palakka of the Bone Kingdom. Gowa forced to accept Dutch domination of spice trade

• 1673: Fort Rotterdam est., turned into Makassar City

• 1776-1790 civil war “War of Batara”

• Early 1800s: war between Gowa and Bone again

Makassar War 1666-1669 (OTL summary)

Side 1: Kingdom of Gowa-Tallo (Makassarese ethnicity), Principality of Wajo' (Bugis)

Side 2: VOC, Principality of Bone (Bugis), Principality of Seppong (Bugis)

Result: War ended Gowa's trade prosperity. War allowed the Bugis and Makassarese to spread across Nusantara for the next 3 centuries. Prince Arung Palakka of Bone became Sultan of Bone in 1672. Fort of Makassar (built 1525) captured by the Dutch and renamed Fort Rotterdam.
