Banten

Indonesia

Banten, a region on the western tip of Java, holds 195 connections with 4145 other places across 24 topics, spanning history, religion, and military conflict. The Sultanate of Banten, founded by Sunan Gunung Jati, once controlled much of West Java, and the later VOC presence brought decades of civil unrest. During the Napoleonic Wars, Governor-general Daendels ordered the sultan to relocate his capital to Anyer and supply labor for the Great Post Road. Jakarta, West Java, India, China, and the Netherlands all share many connections with the region.
