Hype for the Future 50Y: Significant Dutch Influence on the World

Introduction Dutch colonial history to the New World can be traced to both the West Indies and the East Indies, albeit with varied outcomes between success and failure. In the Western Hemisphere, the most notable of the Dutch colonial experiments were New Netherland in the modern New York area, as well as Suriname and Itamaracá, both in South America. Today, the island of Itamaracá is known as Ilha de Itamaracá and is located within the Brazilian state of Pernambuco. While Suriname is […]

It seems that "those women and children we killed were suicide attacks" isn't a new excuse.

"It was not until 1903 that the sultan surrendered. Decisive pacification of Aceh was accomplished only after several leading ulamas were killed in battles between 1910 and 1912. A new revolt broke out on the west coast of Aceh from 1925 to 1927, costing 100 lives (Reid 2006b:103), and there were some other sporadic regional revolts. Decades after the collective provincial war ended, the Dutch continued to be afflicted with individual acts of jihad: ‘at least once a week on average’ there was a suicidal attack on a Dutchman by an individual Acehnese, the so-called ‘Aceh-mord’ (Reid 2006b:103). This was not a problem for the Dutch elsewhere in the East Indies colony. Alfian (2006:111–17) concluded that the Acehnese fighting spirit was inspired in part by a set of poetic tales called the Hikayat Perang Sabil, which was usually read before going onto the battlefield. Among other things, it promised everlasting happiness for martyrs, delicious food, eternal marriage of martyrs to 72 beautiful angels and forgiveness by God of all the sins of 70 family members of the martyr. Alfian (2006:113) concludes that the defiant Acehnese identity nurtured by these poetic tales helps account for the large numbers of suicidal attacks on Dutch forces during the war by women and children, 700 of whom were killed in battle in 1904 alone, according to Dutch sources."

A reaction from me to today's article on Ferdinand von Sommer by Professor Alexandra Ludewig (UWA) in The Conversation:

Genius or charlatan? The strange tale of a 19th-century polymath who left a trail of controversy across colonial Australia.

Genius or charlatan? The strange tale of a 19th-century polymath who left a trail of controversy across colonial Australia

Ferdinand von Sommer was Western Australia’s first government geologist – but until now his life and career have been shrouded in mystery.
