Java is experiencing liberalist and nationalist risings against the Dutch occupation.
The jihad invoked by Prince Pangeran Diponegoro, called the Great Java War, has seen large losses on the side of the Dutch, due to their lack of coherent strategy and commitment in fighting Diponegoro's guerrilla warfare.
Ambushes are continually set up, and food supplies are denied to the Dutch troops.
Diponegoro also enjoys popular support among the population of Central Java.
The struggle takes a turn against the Javanese rebels when the Dutch, led by General De Cock, win a major encounter in 1828 and then establish several strongholds around the country.
The conflict is fated to be the final resistance of the Javanese aristocracy to Dutch rule.
