The great massacre of 1622, often referred to as the "Massacre of the Dutch in Ambon," was led by the forces of the Sultan of Ternate, supported by the Portuguese. This violent event was part of the broader conflict between European colonial powers and local rulers in the Spice Islands. The massacre resulted in the deaths of many Dutch traders and soldiers, significantly impacting Dutch ambitions in the region.
