Instead, for the Kingdom of Aceh, in cooperation with the British because of the political state that is a super-power in the era of knowledge. This Agreement is also a victory over Dutch diplomacy Aceh. For, since the early 18-century, the Kingdom of Aceh, the UK, the Netherlands and another in the race drive in his Ocean Malacca. The role of lay-UK cooperation in Aceh is a famous builder of Singapore, Sir Stamford Raffles.
English is also aware when the kingdom of Aceh can not be considered lightly. Portuguese have the bitter experience of dealing with the people of Aceh. In the efforts to Malacca Peninsula in mid-century to 15, dealing with the Portuguese forces against the war in Aceh with the fierce and continuing under the leadership of Sultan Ali Mughayat Syah (1524-1530), Sultan Saladin (1528-1537), Sultan Al Alaiadin Riayat Syah Qahhar (1537-1571), Sultan Ala ad-Din Mansyur Syah (1579-1586), Sultan Ala'adin Ri'ayat Syah Sayyid al-Mukammil (1587-1604), to reach the golden time of Sultan Iskandar Muda (1607 -- 1636).
Portuguese finally own up to regularly back to the ground after the Sunda and Demak conquer Malacca, without Aceh. Aceh alone would hit back with help from Demak Pati Unus in Portuguese expedition pursue Peninsula in Malacca, in 1513 failed to mention.
Kingdom of the Netherlands was initially very reluctant to respect the sovereignty and Aceh. When successfully conquered in Java in 1596, the Netherlands did not dare to attack Aceh. Even trade relations between the Aceh-Dutch stranded both. This relationship in a Friendship and Trade Agreement on 30 March 1857.
The agreement strengthens the commitment of the Netherlands recognizes the sovereignty of Aceh. Netherlands even tied treaties London (1821) that require it to respect the sovereignty of Aceh.
But the appetite Sumatra presumably continue to seethe. At first the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Siak Deli on 1858, before the cock Malacca and Aceh. To enforce its plan, the quiet conspiracy with the Netherlands to the UK in the treaties Sumatra (1971). The contents, provide flexibility in the UK the Netherlands to expand his power in Sumatra. And as a return, the Netherlands must submit one of the region to its colony in Africa called the Gold Coast to Britain.
English is a clear attitude betrayal. The war between Aceh and the Netherlands since 1873 was broken. 3000 Dutch troops mobilize the army under the command of Major General Kohler exert a warship Citadel van Antwerpen. The number of army troops is the largest ever collected in the Netherlands Southeast Asia.
Between March 26 to 23 April 1873-combatant combatant Aceh under Sultan Mahmud Syah maintain the beach from the Netherlands amphibious operations. General Kohler itself successfully arrested and then executed. This is the most shameful defeat Dutch in Southeast Asia. Since then, the Netherlands more troops to strengthen its in Aceh.
Kohler died after a year, exactly 26 January 1874, Sultan Mahmud follow. Kingdom of Aceh was shaky start because the crown son, Muhammad Daud Syah, still small. But as the constitution demands, perforce, must still constitute the kingdom of David as Syah sultan. There are some who say, when constituted, David, age is still below 10 years. But there are also mentions that he is 12 years old.
During led by Daud Syah Sultan, the kingdom of Aceh is completely disorganized. Prof. Alfian call as the descendants of the Iskandar Muda weak. In such conditions, Tjhik Di Tiro Teungku Muhammad Saman scholars trust troops took over the kingdom.
