Why did the Malay world fall to foreign traders while the countries of mainland Southeast Asia retained their independence?
The Malay world fell to foreign traders largely due to its strategic location along vital maritime trade routes, which attracted European powers seeking control over lucrative spice and trade markets. The fragmented political landscape, characterized by smaller and often competing sultanates, made it easier for foreign traders to establish dominance. In contrast, mainland Southeast Asia had more centralized states with stronger military and political structures, allowing them to resist colonization and maintain their independence longer. Additionally, the inland geography of mainland regions provided natural defenses against maritime incursions.
