  • Early English Intercourse with Burma 1587–1743

    D G E HallBOOKEarly English Intercourse with…2019Citada por: 3

    First published in 1922, this volume constitutes the first attempt yet made to trace the story of English intercourse with Burma from its origins in the 16th century to the middle of the 18th, framed by the period from the opening to the final years of the Syriam factory. Daniel G.E. Hall sought to fill a gap in the literature for students of British enterprise in the East, drawing out the progress of Burma from a commercially unviable backwater …

  • Burma Under the Restored Toungoo Dynasty, 1600–1752

    D G E Hall, David HallCHAPTERA History of South-East Asia1981

    When the united kingdom of Burma fell apart in 1599 the condition of the old Mon kingdom of Pegu was indeed wretched. Not only was the capital city in ruins but the whole countryside was laid waste by the invading armies of Arakan, Toungoo and Siam. Syriam was in Arakanese hands, and thither came Philip de Brito y Nicote, a Portuguese in the service of King Min Razagyi, to take charge of the customhouse and control the Portuguese living there und…

  • Malacca and the Spread of Islam

    D G E Hall, David HallCHAPTERA History of South-East Asia1981

    Long before the days of the Prophet the Arabs had made settlements along the trade route between the Red Sea and China. Islam gave a new impetus to their shipping. In the eighth century they were sufficiently numerous in south China to sack Canton (758). In the ninth century there were small communities of Mahommedan merchants in several ports on the route to China. In the eleventh century they are mentioned as having existed in Champa for some t…

  • The Island Empires (1)

    D G E Hall, David HallCHAPTERA History of South-East Asia1981

    The Fall of Funan , with its powerful fleet and commercial ramifications, was followed by the rise of a new maritime empire at the western end of Indonesia. The earliest historical evidence of the new state is fragmentary, the lacunae are baffling in the extreme, and the picture that emerges is often far from clear. But since George Coedès published the first study of the history of Śrivijaya in 1918 1 much progress has been made in clarification…

  • Indonesia from the Fall of the V.O.C. to the Recall of Raffles, 1799–1816

    D G E HallCHAPTERA History of South-East Asia1981

    The disappearance of the ‘Kompenie’ made at first little difference to the management of affairs in Indonesia. No matter how loudly the Batavian Republic might echo the French revolutionary doctrine that liberty and equality were the inalienable rights of men, it was not prepared to do anything calculated to destroy the value of its East Indian empire to the home country. The security of that empire, it was firmly convinced, depended upon keeping…

  • The Peopling of South-East Asia

    D G E HallCHAPTERA History of South-East Asia1981

    South-East Asia is a term which came into general use during the Second World War to describe the territories of the eastern Asiatic mainland forming the Indo-Chinese peninsula and the immense archipelago which includes Indonesia and the Philippines. In using the term American writers have standardized the form ‘Southeast’ and have been followed by Victor Purcell 1 and E. H. G. Dobby. 2 But there seems to be no valid reason for coining a new form…

  • After the War, 1945–50

    D G E HallCHAPTERA History of South-East Asia1981

    South-East Asia before the Second World War was a little-known region to the majority of people in the West. It was completely overshadowed by India and China. The use of such terms as Further India or Indo-China to describe its mainland, and even of Indonesia or the Indian Archipelago for its island world, obscured its identity and minimized its importance. Now for a short time all that was changed. The limelight was focused upon the unfamiliar …

  • The Khmers and Angkor

    D G E Hall, David HallCHAPTERA History of South-East Asia1981

    The disappearance of the empire of Funan in the middle of the sixth century came, according to the Chinese account, through the rebellion of a feudatory state named Chenla. The History of the Sui describes the occurrence thus: ‘the kingdom of Chenla is on the south-west of Lin-yi. It was originally a vassal kingdom of Funan. The family name of the king was Ch’a-li and his personal name Che-to-sseu-na. His predecessors had gradually increased the …

  • The Philippines to the end of Spanish Rule

    D G E HallCHAPTERA History of South-East Asia1981

    During the first half of the seventeenth century the Spanish hold upon the Philippines was strenuously challenged by the Dutch. Although they came into the island world of South-East Asia mainly in order to wrest control over the spice trade from the Portuguese, the Dutch were equally concerned to break the power of Spain. Quite apart from their general hostility to Spain as the enemy of their independence, they were impelled by two special consi…

  • Annam and Tongking

    D G E Hall, David HallCHAPTERA History of South-East Asia1981

    The Vietnamese, as they now prefer to be called, are today the most numerous of the peoples of the Indo-Chinese peninsula. They occupy the valleys of the Red and Black rivers of Tongking, the coastal belt of Annam and the Mekong delta region of Cochin China. At the beginning of the Christian era they occupied Tongking and northern Annam only. They pushed southwards at the expense of the Chams, whose kingdom they conquered in the fifteenth century…

  • Siam Under Mongkut and Chulalongkorn, 1851–1910

    D G E HallCHAPTERA History of South-East Asia1981

    Mongkut , who was the rightful heir to the throne when Rama II died in 1824, was a Buddhist monk when his elder brother, Pra Nang Klao, seized the throne and became Rama III. He was then twenty years old and quite inexperienced in matters of state. Though he had entered a monastery only for the short period that was customary for all young men, he now remained in the order and eventually became Sangkaret Bawaraniwate. In his early years as a monk…

  • Siam in Transition, 1910–42

    D G E Hall, David HallCHAPTERA History of South-East Asia1981

    The title of the chapter is borrowed from Professor K. P. Landon’s book 1 dealing with the revolution of 1932, which, besides substituting a form of constitutional government for the old Chakri absolutism, considerably hastened the process of adjusting Siam to modern world conditions begun under Chulalongkorn. Chulalongkorn had thirty-four sons and forty-three daughters. In the early days of his reign the sons were sent to English public schools,…

  • The British Forward Movement in Malaya and Borneo

    D G E Hall, David HallCHAPTERA History of South-East Asia1981

    Those people who had agitated for the transfer of the responsibility for the Straits Settlements from the India Office to the Colonial Office must have been disappointed at the immediate results of the change, for during the term of the first Colonial Office governor, Sir Harry Ord, from 1867 to 1873, the policy of non-intervention was maintained even more rigidly than before. Ord himself was the unwilling instrument of the home government in thi…

  • The Zenith and Decline of the V.O.C., 1684–1799

    D G E Hall, David HallCHAPTERA History of South-East Asia1981

    In 1684, when Governor-General Speelman died and was succeeded by the scholarly and unwarlike Johannes Camphuys (1684–91), the Dutch Company was a political force in Java. The sultans of the two most important states, Mataram and Bantam, had been placed on their thrones by its troops and owed it vast sums of money by way of war costs. With both rulers the Dutch had concluded agreements which apparently made them pliable clients of the Company. Qu…

  • The Last Days of the Konbaung Dynasty at Mandalay, 1862–85

    D G E Hall, David HallCHAPTERA History of South-East Asia1981

    Mindon , who was a son of Tharrawaddy, had been twelve years of age when Arakan and Tenasserim were annexed in 1826. He was raised to the throne just after Pegu and a deep strip of territory to the north of the Burmese province had gone the same way. His kingdom was still a large one stretching many miles up the Irrawaddy and its great tributary, the Chindwin. It contained what was par excellence the Burmese homeland, together with a fringe of mo…

  • The Kingdom of Champa

    D G E Hall, David HallCHAPTERA History of South-East Asia1981

    The foundation and early history of the Cham kingdom has been dealt with in a previous chapter. The story is now taken up from the early part of the seventh century, when the accession of the T’ang dynasty in China brought a lull in Cham aggression which for various reasons lasted until the beginning of the ninth century. The seventh century saw the beginnings of artistic developments, chiefly at Misön and Tra-kieu, close to Amaravati (Quang-nam)…

  • Burma and Arakan

    D G E Hall, David HallCHAPTERA History of South-East Asia1981

    The chronicle writings of Burma are a branch of the country’s literature of great interest and value. Their accounts of Burma’s very early history do, of course, contain much myth and legend, and Western historians have resorted to searching for other forms of evidence, such as inscriptions, Chinese writings, linguistics and archaeological explorations for use in checking their statements. The chronicles make Tagaung in Upper Burma their first ca…

  • French Administration and Nationalism in Indo-China

    D G E HallCHAPTERA History of South-East Asia1981

    The fashioning of what has been appropriately described as ‘the neat hierarchy of French colonial administration modelled on the Napoleonic pattern’ 1 was largely the work of Paul Doumer, who held the office of governor-general from 1897 to 1902. He unified the corps of civilian services, reconstituted the administration of Tong-king, and organized the government of the newly-acquired Laos territories. In Tongking he wiped out the last vestiges o…

  • Vietnam and the Beginnings of French Expansion in Indo-China, 1820–70

    D G E Hall, David HallCHAPTERA History of South-East Asia1981

    Prince Canh , the eldest son of the Emperor Gia-Long, who had accompanied Pigneau de Behaine to the Court of Versailles, died in 1801. His brother, Minh-Mang, who succeeded to the throne in 1820, hated the ‘barbarians from the West’. He refused to conclude a commercial treaty with France, or even to receive the letter on the subject which Louis XVIII sent him in 1825. Three French attempts to renew commercial relations with his country were made …

  • Britain, France and the Siamese Question

    D G E Hall, David HallCHAPTERA History of South-East Asia1981

    The French conquest of Cochin China wrought a profound change in Franco-Siamese relations. In the first place it brought Siam’s eastwards expansion to a stop. France took the place of Vietnam as the competitor with Siam for dominance over Cambodia, and within the briefest possible time won the contest decisively. King Norodom, who had already accepted Siamese suzerainty, was literally forced by the French in 1863 to accept their protection—a posi…

  • The Coming of the European

    D G E HallCHAPTERA History of South-East Asia1981

    Mediaeval Europe had no recorded contacts with South-East Asia until late in the thirteenth century, when the Polos, returning from the Court of Kublai Khan by the sea route, passed down the coast of Champa, rounded the southern extremity of the Malay Peninsula, and were held up for five months by monsoon conditions in northern Sumatra before passing on their way across the Indian Ocean. They had crossed Asia by the overland caravan route to Chin…

  • Burma and the T’ai Kingdoms in the Sixteenth Century

    D G E Hall, David HallCHAPTERA History of South-East Asia1981

    Three years after the foundation of Ayut'ia in 1350 another T'ai kingdom, later known as the kingdom of Laos or Luang Prabang, was founded in the upper Mekong valley. It came into existence through the union of a number of small Laos states under the leadership of a chief of Muong Swa named Fa Ngum, who had been brought up at the Court of Angkor and was married to a Khmer princess. The origin of the Laos states on the Mekong is obscure and legend…

  • The Restored Dutch Régime in Indonesia and the Culture System, 1816–48

    D G E Hall, David HallCHAPTERA History of South-East Asia1981

    After Napoleon’s defeat at Leipzig in 1813 the Dutch had joined in the general revolt against him. Van Hogendorp’s younger brother1 organized a provisional government and recalled William VI of Orange, the son of the old Stadhouder, from England. As sovereign prince under the new Fundamental Law adopted in 1814, he was given extensive powers, which included not only the management of the state’s finances but also ‘exclusive control’ over the colo…
