[10m] Name this home region of Pattimura, who captured Fort Duurstede as part of the Ambon revolt against the Dutch in this archipelago. This region was earlier the center of the rival sultanates of Ternate (“tair-NAH-tay”) and Tidore (“tee-DOE-ray”).

ANSWER: Maluku Islands [or Malukus; or Moluccas; accept North Maluku; prompt on Spice Islands; prompt on Eastern Indonesia; prompt on East Indies]

[10h] Pattimura was fighting against this Dutch army based in Indonesia, which also fought against the Javanese rebellion of Prince Diponegoro.
