    The Padri War was a long civil war in Sumatra between 1803 and 1838 that involved the Minang and Mandailing or Batak peoples.

    and Mandailing or Batak. Initially the war can be said to be a civil war in Sumatra ,between the padri
    and local chieftains of Pagaruyung.
    Padri War initially involved the Padri led by lord Pasaman,who then attacked the local
    chieftains led by Sultan Arifin Muningsyah. Being hard-pressed and forced to flee from his
    authority,Sultan Arifin Muningsyah asked for the help of the Netherlands.Officially the Netherlands
    helped the local chieftains to fight against the Padri through an agreement signed in 1821. The
    agreement stated that the Netherlands would get the mastery of the region in the interior of the
    Minangkabau.
    Although the Netherlands intervened in the Padri War, they had difficulities in resiting the
    Padri which was led by Tuanku Imam Bonjol. They ten invited Tuanku Imam Bonjol for an agreement
    in 1824. However,the agreement did not last long.
    In 1833,Padri War had a new chapter,the local chieftains decided to unite with the Padri and
    fight against the Netherlands. The Netherlands sieged and assailed the Padri fortress of Bonjol can
    be controlled by the Netherlands on 16th August 1837.
    To capture Tuanku Imam Bonjol as the leader of Padri,the Netherlands pretended to invite
    him for a negotiation at Palupuh in October 1837. During the negotiation,Tuanku Imam Bonjol was
    captured and then exiled to Cianjur,West Java. From Cianjur, he then was brought to Ambon until
    then moved into the Minahasa,Lotak,near Manado. Since then, the Padri War ended.
