BRIEF HISTORY
Point of Divergence: Anno Domini, 1357
PRE-COLONIAL ERA
The Point of Divergence is in the 1357, in the year that Majapahit Empire is ruled by Hayam Wuruk and Prime Minister Gadjah Mada.
In our timeline, Gajah Mada had sworn the Oath of Palapa which aims to unite the entire archipelago under the Majapahiti banner. In OTL, this never happens because of Bubat Incident.
But in the Alternate History, Bubat Incident just never happened, thus King Hayam Wuruk and Dyah Pitaloka from Sunda Kingdom married and United the two kingdoms. Since that, they start to begin the expansion to the entire archipelago and uniting more and more kingdoms under Majapahit rules.
With the entry of Islam in the Indies, the acculturation between Islamic culture and well-preserved Hindu-Buddhist culture began to occur. However, this itself triggered the collapse of Majapahit's glory, which then was nothing more than the association of Kingdoms or Sultanates scattered throughout the archipelago.
The colonial era finally arrived. Firstly, The Dutch established a colony near Batam, and yes the Majapahit (which is a declined Empire) is accepted them but this time, The Majapahit only held Java, Nusa Tenggara Islands, Southern of Sumatera, Little piece of Borneo, and South Sulawesi. The British also came to this archipelago and established a colony in North Sumatra (Aceh) where the Sultanate of Malacca is located.
Initially, all these kingdoms received the arrival of the British and Dutch who were thought to be "merchants". However, over time the British and the Dutch had begun to interfere with the affairs of these kingdoms. They bring into conflict of the empires and kingdoms to fight with each other.
And finally, the brutallest fight in the Archipelago: Dutch-Majapahit War. This war is lasted 3 years long and resulted in the Dutch occupying Majakarta. Treaty of Palapa: The Dutch can take all of Java and South Sumatra, The Majapahit Empire is disbanded. There's a few Majapahit successors claiming to be the real ruler of the archipelago, but it's nothing more than a puppet of Dutch East Indies.
The Netherlands brought Christianity to Hindia Timur, especially in the Eastern Portion of Hindia Timur (Sulawesi, Borneo, Maluku, and West New Guinea). Meanwhile, in the West, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam are still well preserved. In this colonial era, the Dutch not only exploited the natural wealth of the Indies, but they were also one of the pioneers of the East Indies' progress. Including Dutch language which is still the second language of the Hindia Timuran Republic in addition to Malay (as lingua franca) and English.
