Treaty of Bongaya

1667 · 17th century · Part of the Makassar War

The Treaty of Bongaya was signed in November 1667 between Sultan Hasanuddin of Gowa and the Dutch East India Company, whose commander Cornelis Speelman, allied with Arung Palakka of Bone, had defeated Makassar. Gowa had to expel other Europeans, give the Company a trade monopoly and cede forts, including Ujung Pandang, renamed Fort Rotterdam. Fighting resumed, and Somba Opu fell in 1669.
