About this person

Nuku was the Sultan of Tidore from 1797 to 1805. He is best known for leading the Nuku rebellion in the Maluku Islands and Papua against the Dutch colonial empire from 1780 until his death. Being a leader with great charisma, he gathered discontents from several ethnic groups and strove to restore Maluku to its pre-colonial division into four autonomous kingdoms. Nuku allied with the British against the Dutch and helped them conquer the Dutch stronghold in Ternate in 1801. In modern Indonesia he is commemorated as a pahlawan nasional.
