The siege and storming of Pleret was a siege and storming that occurred in Pleret during the Java War. It was the first time that Diponegoro didn't avoid a pitched battle and it resulted in Dutch victory.[2]
Background and battle
[edit]Pleret was abandoned as a capital but still played another role during the Java War (1825–1830) between the Dutch and the Javanese forces under Prince Diponegoro.[3] Pleret was occupied by Diponegoro in 1825.[4] He kept his weapons and livestock there. Diponegoro used it as a base to attack convoys supplying the nearby Imogiri held by the Dutch.[3] In April 1826, the Dutch attacked Pleret under General Josephus Jacobus van Geen .[3] Diponegoro did not engage in combat and withdrew to the west.[3] Van Geen entered Pleret and took the weapons and livestock kept there as booty.[3] Lacking forces to keep the town, he withdrew to Yogyakarta.[3] Thereafter Diponegoro reocuppied the town and fortified it.[3] Diponegoro gave particular importance to this city.[5] In June 1826, Dutch forces with a strong contingent of Madurese auxiliaries besieged the town. On 9 June, the besiegers detonated a mine under the ramparts, causing a breach through which they attacked.[3] After a day of "bloody fighting", the attackers completely occupied Pleret.[3] This battle was Diponegoro's first major defeat in the war. The Dutch left a garrison of 700 men, and there was no further attempt from Diponegoro to retake Pleret.[3]
