Dutch intervention in Bali (1858)

This expedition was directed against certain chiefs (pungawwa) of Buleleng who were fomenting revolt and opposition to the Dutch-appointed regent.

When the deposed prince of Jembrana, who had gone into exile in Buleleng, invaded his former princedom, the people failed to rise in support.

[1] Political control of the expedition fell to assistant residents Bosch and van Bloemen Waanders.

On 11 December 1858 the Dutch forces landed without resistance and began marching on Bandjar Djawa.

Gompal and his fellow chief, Ida Mahe Rai, were exiled to Java.
