POLITICS OF THE BRUNEI SULTANATE 1804-1906

This book depicts how the Brunei Sultanate, which prior to the 19th century, stood tall, but during the course of the 19th century, was reminiscent of a ship that was sailing through storms on the open seas. It nearly sank from the forces of the storms, ainly the storm from the west. Western powers, primarily the English, arrived in Brunei, causing a forceful storm that swallowed up Bruneian territories until it shrank. However, with the leadership of kings who fought back without weapons, the Brunei Sultanate that endured the storm was saved, and it rose once more, gloriously, until it stood as tall and sat on par with other nations. 9789991796178
