What are some interesting facts about Seram, Indonsia's culture?

Answer 1

In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Seram was generally within the sphere of influence of Ternate, although it was often ruled more directly by the Ternaten vassal state of Buru. Portuguese missionaries were active there in the 16th century. Dutch trading posts were opened in the early 17th century, and the island came under nominal Dutch control c. 1650. In the 1780s, Seram provided a key base of support for Prince Nuku of Tidore's long-running rebellion against Dutch rule.


Religion

Please see the relevant discussion on the talk page.
Traditionally, most of the people here have been either of the Animist, Muslim or Christian faith. However, during the inter-religious conflict that swept the Maluku province and other parts of Indonesia in 1998 and continues sporadically to this day, the Christian and other non-Muslim population was either killed, driven off the island or forcibly converted to Islam and their homes and property burned. The remaining population is now entirely Muslim??????????????????????????(Not true)
