British expedition to Makassar

The British expedition to Makassar was a British military expedition held in June 1814 against the Bone Sultanate in modern South Sulawesi. The military campaign was targeted at the palace of the Sultan of Bone, located in modern Makassar, in order to force Bone's acknowledgement of British authority in South Sulawesi. The palace was taken and burned, with the British seizing Bone's library in the process.
