History of West Java

In the th century 5 West Java is part of the Tarumanegara kingdom.

This can be proven by the existence of historical relics in the form of inscriptions that are still widely scattered in the West Java region.

There is 7 inscriptions written using wengi characters & sanskrit. Which inscription tells about King Tarumanegara.

After the Tarumanegara Kingdom collapsed, The power from Ujung Kulon to Kali Serayu was controlled by the Sunda Kingdom.

The legacy of the Sunda Kingdom is the Kebon Kopi II inscription in 932. The capital of the Sunda Kingdom is Pakuan Pajajaran which is now the city of Bogor.

The emergence of the Sultanate of Demak in the twentieth century 16 at that time became a rival of the Sunda Kingdom in terms of economy and politics .

Facing it, Sri Baduga a Maharaja ordered his son Surawisesa to make a treaty with the Portuguese in Malacca.

Where the agreement aims to prevent the fall of the main port, namely Sunda Kelapa.

other than that, The agreement is marked by the Sunda Treaty Inscription – Portugal signed in 1512.

However, despite having made an agreement with portuguese, still the implementation did not materialize.

This is because in 1527 Cirebon alliance – Demak under the leadership of Fatahilah carried out an attack and conquered the Sunda Kelapa Harbor.

Then the war between the Kingdom of Sunda & Cirebon alliance – Demak lasts for 5 year. Later in the year 1531 an agreement was made between Prabu Surawisesa & Sunan Gunungjati of the Cirebon Sultanate.

Later in the year 1579 The Sunda Kingdom experienced a decline under the Sultanate of Banten. Finally Sunda Kelapa Harbor fell into the hands of the Sultanate of Banten.

Then at that time the Dutch East Indies government formed the Province of West Java in 1925, and this province is inhabited by residents, most of whom use the Sundanese language in their daily lives

And finally on the date 17 August 1945 West Java Province joined to become part of the Republic of Indonesia.
