Aceh Expedition (1606)
The Aceh Expedition was a military expedition launched by the Portuguese against the Acehnese to force them to build a Portuguese fortress near Aceh. However, the expedition ended in failure. Background Since the rise of the Aceh Sultanate, the Acehnese entered with the Portuguese a long series of conflicts to dominate the Straits of Malacca. In 1568, the Acehnese, backed by the Ottomans, besieged Malacca but to no avail. Between 1570 and 1575, they came close to capturing Malacca but failed. The nature of the conflict changed when the new Portuguese enemy arrived. The Dutch sought to establish their own empire, entering a long conflict with the Portuguese. In 1600 the Dutch were welcomed by the Acehnese who sought allies against the Portuguese, which made relations with Portuguese strained and sought to punish them for breaking a pact between them before, but the Portuguese also wanted to erect a fort near Aceh, as demonstrated by Philip's letter to Martim Afonso de Castr ...

Battle Of Aceh (1569)
The Battle of Aceh was fought in 1569 off the coast of Sumatra between a lone Portuguese carrack (''nau'', in Portuguese) and an armada of the Sultanate of Aceh, that was about to stage an attack on Portuguese Malacca. It ended in Portuguese victory and the withdrawal of the Aceh fleet after suffering heavy losses. Background In the beginning of May 1569, a privately owned carrack, escorted by a heavily armed galleon, departed from Goa, bound for south-east Asia. The captain and owner of the carrack was a wealthy man called Mem Lopes Carrasco, while the captain of the galleon was João Gago de Andrade, tasked with resupplying and reinforcing the Portuguese garrison in the fortress of Ternate in the Moluccas. Carrasco intended to sail his ship to the Sunda Strait, possibly to buy high-quality pepper and sandalwood, among other highly valuable products made in the region. After passing by the Cape Comorin in the southernmost tip of India and the threat of pirates lessened, the carr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Battles Involving Portugal
A battle is an occurrence of combat in warfare between opposing military units of any number or size. A war usually consists of multiple battles. In general, a battle is a military engagement that is well defined in duration, area, and force commitment. An engagement with only limited commitment between the forces and without decisive results is sometimes called a skirmish. The word "battle" can also be used infrequently to refer to an entire operational campaign, although this usage greatly diverges from its conventional or customary meaning. Generally, the word "battle" is used for such campaigns if referring to a protracted combat encounter in which either one or both of the combatants had the same methods, resources, and strategic objectives throughout the encounter. Some prominent examples of this would be the Battle of the Atlantic, Battle of Britain, and Battle of Stalingrad, all in World War II. Wars and military campaigns are guided by military strategy, wh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Military History Of Indonesia
The military history of Indonesia includes the military history of the modern nation of Republic of Indonesia, as well as the military history of the states which preceded and formed it. It encompassed a kaleidoscope of conflicts spanning over a millennia. The ancient and medieval part of it began as tribal warfare began among indigenous populations, and escalated as kingdoms emerged. The modern part is defined by foreign colonial occupations, battles for independence through guerrilla warfare during Indonesian National Revolution, regional conquests and disputes with neighbouring countries, as well as battles between the Republic and separatist factions. Since the formation of the Republic, the military has played significant role in state affairs. However, in Post-Suharto era, the Indonesian military has retreated from politics, yet it still possesses some influences. As an archipelagic nation, historically Indonesia has always been a maritime power since Srivijaya and Maj ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Acehnese Conquest Of Pasai
The Conquest of Pasai was a military campaign in 1523–1524 launched by the Sultanate of Aceh against the Samudera Pasai Sultanate and the Portuguese fortress there. The operation was a success for the Acehnese. Background In the early 16th century, Pedir and Pasai had friendly relations with the Portuguese. Both of these cities were visited by Portuguese ambassadors with gifts from the King of Portugal, including pepper from Pasai. However, some incidents happened that led to the establishment of a Portuguese presence there. In 1516, Garcia de Sa, the governor of Malacca, sent Manuel Pacheco to attack Pasai. In 1521, Zainal Abidin (Jeinal in Portuguese sources), a prince, revolted against the Sultan of Pasai, whom the Portuguese call "Orfacam." The deposed sultan asked the Portuguese for help; earlier, Jeinal massacred all Portuguese men in Pasai, which triggered the Portuguese reaction. Jorge de Albuquerque agreed to help restore the deposed sultan and arrived in Pasai w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
