View show details

In 1740, a massacre of Chinese residents in Batavia sparked a rebellion that spread across Java, pitting Chinese rebels against Javanese rulers and the Dutch East India Company. This episode explores the Geger Pacinan (Chinese War) and its aftermath, focusing on the 1750 Java War — a complex conflict of shifting alliances, broken treaties, and the rise of Mangkubumi, who would later become Sultan Hamengkubuwana II of Yogyakarta. We follow the rebellion from its origins in Batavia's sugar mills to the battlefields of Kartasura and the eventual peace at Giyanti. Along the way, we meet figures like Sunan Pakubuwana II, the Dutch Governor General Gustaaf Willem van Imhoff, and the Chinese rebel leader Kapitan Sepanjang. This episode examines how a single act of violence reshaped Java's political landscape and set the stage for the division of Mataram into two kingdoms. #GegerPacinan #ChineseWar #JavaWar #Mangkubumi #HamengkubuwanaII #PakubuwanaII #VanImhoff #Kartasura #Giyanti #Batavia #VOC #Mataram #Yogyakarta #Surakarta #1740s #18thCentury #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
