Seafaring Kingdoms - Chapter 14:iiif

Southeast Asia's strategic ports shaped significant trade routes, making the region a vital crossroads for maritime commerce between the East and West. The Srivijaya Empire, dominating Java and Sumatra from 600 to 1100 A.D., controlled the vital Strait of Malacca. Following its decline, the Majapahit Kingdom rose to prominence. Buddhism and Hinduism reigned in the region until the arrival of Islam in the 1200s, introduced by Arab traders. The port kingdom of Melaka became an Islamic hub, while Bali retained its Hindu culture, even as Portuguese merchants undermined local Muslim trade dominance in the 1500s.
