The Story of Prince Diponegoro Struggle (Indonesian Heroes)

in #history6 years ago


Soerce

Pangera Dipenogoro was touched by his heart to see the suffering of the people during the colonial era. He felt the fate of the people must be defended.

Resistance

At that time the Dutch installed stakes in the construction of roads through the houses, mosques, and ancestral tombs of Prince Diponegoro.

That was what started the Prince Diponegoro's resistance.

He courageously revoked the stakes of the road construction. This triggered the attack on the residence of Prince Diponegoro in Tegalrejo.

Since then, there has been a great war called the Java War or the Diponegoro War (1825-1830).

Guerrilla War

Prince Diponegoro soon gathered strength. Its main supporters are Pangeran Mangkubumi, Kyai Mojo, and Sentot Ali Basya Prawirodirdjo.

The Diponegoro troops could initially hit Dutch troops.

The tactic used by Prince Diponegoro was guerrilla warfare. The Dutch are confused about this army. They tried to find a way to stop Prince Diponegoro's resistance.

Negotiations

The Dutch invited Prince Diponegoro to negotiate.

Negotiations were held on March 28, 1830, but the negotiations failed.

However, Prince Diponegoro was immediately arrested on orders from General De Kock. Prince Diponegoro was taken to Batavia on May 3, 1830.

Imprisoned in Manado

After being arrested, Prince Diponegoro was imprisoned in Manado. Four years later, Prince Diponegoro was imprisoned in a Dutch fort in Makassar.

He died in prison on January 8, 1855.
