History[]
Throughout the Dutch colonialization of the Indonesian archipelago, the people of Java had mounted several uprisings and rebellions, although none of them were successful. Among the most famous rebellions mounted by the Javanese people are the Java War, or better known to the present-day Indonesians as the "Diponegoro War" after their leader, Prince Diponegoro. During the war, the Javanese peasantry were supportive of Diponegoro's cause, with many joining the ranks of the rebel army using whatever they have as a weapon. Later on the rebels would adopt guerrilla warfare which proves to be effective in inflicting heavy personnel and materiel losses for the Dutch. The rebellion was put down after the Dutch resorted to using trickery to capture Diponegoro and exiled him to Sulawesi.
It should be noted that the sharpened bamboo spear used by the Javanese Spearmen (and to a lesser degree, the Chinese/Japanese Sentry), is anachronistic, as it would be used during and after World War II and fashioned after the Japanese takeyari, used to repel paradropped infantry.[1] A more historically accurate choice would be iron-headed spears 12 to 14 feet (3.66 to 4.27 m) in length, similar to pikes, used by Javanese warriors with great dexterity.[2][3]
