1873–1904 Dutch colonial war in Aceh Sultanate
The Aceh War (Indonesian: Perang Aceh; Acehnese: Prang Acèh; 1873–1904), was an armed military conflict between the Sultanate of Aceh and the Kingdom of the Netherlands which was triggered by discussions between representatives of Aceh and the United States in Singapore during early 1873. The war was part of a series of conflicts in the late 19th century that consolidated Dutch rule over modern-day Indonesia. The campaign drew controversy in the Netherlands and Aceh as photographs and accounts of the death toll were reported. In 1904, the Sultanate of Aceh surrendered, though guerilla resistance would continue for some time after.
