Riau-Lingga Sultanate
Riau-Lingga Sultanate was a state in Malay Peninsula and Sumatra (Southeast Asia) that lasted from 1824 to 1911 CE, about 87 years. The timeline colours it by the language of its rulers: Austronesian (Malay, Javanese, Cham, Tagalog, Malagasy, Polynesian, Maori).
Created when the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824 partitioned Johor-Riau, leaving Riau and Lingga under Dutch influence with Sultan Abdul Rahman seated at Daik. Dutch ships landed troops at the court on Penyengat in February 1911, and Abdul Rahman II was deposed and exiled.
