Aceh War
The Aceh War (also Achinese War) took place from 1873-1904 between the Netherlands and the people of Aceh in Sumatra as the Dutch attempted to colonize this independent state on the northern-most tip of Sumatra.
This war was the most costly colonial war ever fought by the Dutch. Before this, the Dutch had been trying to colonize Aceh for the last four hundred years without much success.
