Indonesian Kingdoms
The Indonesian Kingdoms refer to a series of powerful states that emerged in the Indonesian archipelago from the 7th to the 16th centuries. Notable kingdoms include the Srivijaya, known for its maritime trade, and the Majapahit, which is celebrated for its cultural achievements and influence across Southeast Asia. These kingdoms played a crucial role in the spread of Hinduism and Buddhism in the region.
These kingdoms were characterized by their complex social structures, trade networks, and rich cultural heritage.
