 Hii!! I'm back!!! Today we're gonna talk about one of Indonesian Heroes. He is Pangeran (Prince) Diponegoro. Diponegoro, born Bendara Raden Mas Mustahar, later Bendara Raden Mas Antawirya , (born 11 November 1785, Jogjakarta, Java [Indonesia]—died January 8, 1855, Makassar, Celebes) was a Javanese prince who opposed the Dutch colonial rule. The eldest son of the Yogyakartan Sultan Hamengkubuwono III, he played an important role in the Java War between 1825 and 1830. After his defeat and capture, he was exiled to Makassar, where he died.

Although Diponegoro was the eldest son of the third ruler of Jogjakarta, Sultan Amangku Buwono III, he was passed over for the su...
