The Arrest of Prince Diponegoro occurred on March 28, 1830, during the Java War, a significant conflict in Indonesia against Dutch colonial rule. Diponegoro, a Javanese prince, led a rebellion that aimed to resist Dutch control and promote Javanese sovereignty. His leadership inspired many, but the Dutch sought to end the uprising. The arrest took place at Magelang, where the Dutch lured Diponegoro into a trap by promising peace talks. Once captured, he was exiled to Makassar in Sulawesi, effectively ending his role in the resistance. His arrest marked a turning point in the Java War, leading to increased Dutch dominance in the region.
