The idea of Shrieke in his race theory, as quoted by Azra, says that the Portuguese
expansion can not be separated from the Crusade War in Europe and the Middle
East. It is further said that the desire of adventure and ambition of honor combined
with religious spirit is the driving force that drives the expansion of the Portuguese
into the Asian region. The arrival of the Portuguese came in early 1511 to Malacca,
followed by other Europeans such as France, Britain and the Netherlands to various
parts of the archipelago, ultimately creating resistance from the people of the
archipelago. In an effort to defend his honor and his homeland, the indigenous
fighters were not only from the Adam people, as some of them were heroes of the
female sex. The colonial period and the effort to achieve independence are very
difficult times to pass. Where at that moment, words no longer sounded but only the
sounds of ammunition. This is certainly a difficult time especially for women. In this
condition, they are required to maintain the honor and salvation of their own lives.
