Acehnese–Portuguese Conflicts
Acehnese–Portuguese conflicts were the military engagements between the forces of the Portuguese Empire, established at Portuguese Malacca, Malacca in the Malay Peninsula, and the Aceh Sultanate, Sultanate of Aceh, fought intermittently from 1519 to 1639 in Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula or the Strait of Malacca. The Portuguese supported, or were supported, by various Malay or Sumatran states who opposed Acehnese expansionism, while the Acehnese received support from the Ottoman Empire and the Dutch East India Company. When Aceh began expanding their empire overseas, onto the Malay peninsula, the Portuguese and their allies faced the Acehnese efforts at conquering Malacca and aided other Malay or Sumatran states at resisting Aceh, mainly during the reign of the expansionist Sultan Iskandar Muda. Background In the 15th century, three port kingdoms dominated northernmost Sumatra. Samudera Pasai Sultanate, Pasai had been a Muslim sultanate since the late 13th century, controlling pa ...
