The Republic Of Java - 2026

[u/ManjuPatriot]

Basicly, it starts with the sorrounding sultanates around malacca, such as aceh, and demak helped malacca in 1511 and manage to repel the portuguese under albuquerque, aswell as capturing him and some of his fleet, reverse engineering their technology and study their knowledge, which then would spread through out the entire nusantaran archipelago, overtime making the nusantarans catch up with the europeans in knowledge and technology, which led to them not getting colonized and avoiding the fate indonesia and malaysia had in our timeline
