Q133696273




A skirmish at Tegalreja, the estate of Yogyakartan Prince Diponegoro, took place on 20 July 1825. The incident took place following a Dutch–Yogyakartan attempt to capture Diponegoro in order to prevent a brewing rebellion, which had in turn been incited by a government road project. The Dutch–Yogyakartan force failed to capture Diponegoro, who would escape to Selarong and trigger the Java War for the next five years.
