History of the kingdom of Tallo

In South Sulawesi in the 16th century there were several Hindu kingdoms, among them Gowa, Tallo, Bone, Sopeng, Wajo and Sidenreng. Each kingdom formed alliances according to their choice.
The kingdoms of Gowa and Tallo formed an alliance in 1528, giving birth to an empire that is better known as the kingdom of Makassar. Makasar was the name of the capital of the kingdom of Gowa.

After the alliance of Gowa Tallo, the king of Gowa, Daeng Manrabia, became King of Gowa Tallo, and Karaeng Matoaya became prime minister (governor) with the title of Sultan Abdullah.
The most famous king of this kingdom was Sultan Hasanuddin, who fought the Makasar War (1666-1669) against the VOC, assisted by the kingdom of Bone, which was ruled by Arung Palakka. Makassar war was the biggest war ever done by the VOC in the 17th century. Eventually the Dutch conquered the royal capital of Makassar. And it forced Makasar to sign the 1667 Treaty of Bongaya in 1667.
Although the agreement has been held, the resistance of Makasar against the Dutch continued. Even after the replacement of Sultan Hasanuddin by Mapasomba (son Hasannudin) the resistance against the Dutch continued.
To deal with the resistance of the people of Makassar, the Dutch send a large army. Finally the Netherlands could take full control of the kingdom of Makasar.
