had just ended the war of Java that the region was again contested between several contenders.
More or less during the war of Rajput, Oman declared war with Brunei, which tore around the Borneo, except the north-west. The Ottoman sultan Sayif II persuaded the Granada from intervening to stop giving its naval base in Abu Musa to the Turkish fleet.
Ten years later, a coalition between Holland and England, Oman pulled almost all its colonial possessions: Badjarmasin went to Holland, England the rest of the territories in Borneo, Zanzibar, Bahrain and Qatar. 47 months later, the annexation Oman on the part of the Ottoman Empire, Granada took the last strip on the island, the region of Samarinda, the East.
In 1726, it was the turn of Sweden: the war between Holland and Sweden, the second conquered Palembang, Batavia, Luzon, Buru and Flores, giving the final blow to the VOC. In short, the government of the United Provinces completely took over the company.
however, was in 1730 that France peeped in those islands, relying on the sultanate of Brunei, the Navy established bases on Taiwan, Ceram and the south-east of Celebes. In doing so, he found himself in conflict with the Netherlands, an ally of Britain. In 1731 war broke out two "parallel" with England and the Netherlands, one against France and Brunei, the second against Granada and the Ottoman Empire, with the objectives of Oman on former possessions of both parties.
In one year the Netherlands took over Taiwan, but the navy grenadine prevented other movements of troops, after several battles and some naval skirmish land (including an attempted landing in Bahrain Arab-turkish), we returned to the status quo for all contenders. The tensions were still very strong and there were numerous incidents between the merchant and the port authorities of enemies or even earlier clashes between border troops in Borneo.
