around the kingdom to expel the Dutch. And the Banjar War took place
under his leadership on April 18 1859 in the South Kalimantan and
Central Kalimantan areas.

The Banjar War lasted for 14 years. During the war, the Dutch asked to
collaborate several times, but Prince Antasari never wanted to.

In 1862, Antasari planned a major attack against the Netherlands.

However, a smallpox epidemic suddenly hit the area. He was also

South Kalimantan and was buried in Banjarmasin. In 1986, Prince
