Important printed map of the theatre of the Java War (1825-30), an epic conflict that altered the course of Indonesian history. The war came about when Prince Diponegoro of the powerful autonomous Sultanate of Yogyakarta, and his regional allies, rebelled against Dutch rule over Java. The rebels were motivated by a series of long-simmering grievances against their colonial overlords, to which was added Diponogoro’s personal issues with respect to his claim to the disputed throne of his sultanate. The war was a complex affair, as not only was it an anticolonial uprising, but a civil war between Diponegoro and other factions (allied to the Dutch) within Yogyakarta and throughout neighbouring jurisdictions of South-Central Java.
