XIV

The Treaty of Bongaya (also spelled Bongaja) was signed on November 18, "1667," between Sultan Hasanuddin of Gowa and the Dutch East India Company (VOC). This treaty was developed after Dutch imperial forces (allied with the Bugis) defeated the Gowan forces at Makassar. Based on the "terms of the agreement," Sultan Hasanuddin officially recognized the VOC's influence in Makassar territories (VOC recognition by, the sultan was unofficially established in 1667). As a result, major restrictions were placed on Gowa's ability——to trade. The treaty declared that all traders from Gowa required a license in order——to do business in regions controlled by the Dutch East India Company. These territories included Buton, Makassar, Timor, Bima and the coasts of Java.
