史上最全马来西亚中英双语介绍HistoryThe earliest recorded Malay kingdoms grew from coastal city-ports established in the 10th century AD. It is thought that originally these were Hindu or Buddhist nations. Islam arrived in the 14th century in Terengganu. In the early part of the 15th century, the Sultanate of Malacca was established under a dynasty started by a prince by the name of Parameswara from Palembang. The sultanate controlled the areas which are now Peninsula Malaysia, southern Thailand (Patani), and the eastern coast of Sumatra. It existed for more than a century, and within that time period Islam spread to most of the Malay archipelago. Portugal made Malacca a colony in 1511 by military conquest, thus ending the Sultanate of Malacca. After the fall of Malacca, three nations struggled for the control of Malacca Strait: The Portuguese (in Malacca), the Sultanate of Johor and the Sultanate of Aceh. This conflict went on till 1641, when the Dutch (allied to the Sultanate of Johor) gained control of Malacca. The British took control of Malacca after the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824. The British Crown Colony of the Straits Settlements was established in 1826, and Britain increased its control over the rest of the peninsula.By the turn of the 20th century, the states of Pahang, Selangor, Perak, and Negeri Sembilan, known together as the Federated Malay States, were under the rule of British residents appointed to advise the rulers/Sultans.. The other Peninsular states were known as the Unfederated Malay States and, while not directly under rule from London, had British advisors in the Sultans" courts. The four northern states of Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu were previously under Thai control. British North Borneo (currently the state of Sabah) was a British Crown Colony formerly under the rule of the Sultanate of Sulu, whilst the territory of Sarawak was the personal fiefdom of the Brooke (White Rajah) family.The Malay Peninsular was occupied by Japan from 1942 to 1945. Following the Japanese occupation, the popular support for independence grew, coupled with a communist insurgency. In 1948, the British-ruled territories on the Malay Peninsula formed the Federation of Malaya, which became independent in 1957. Malaysia was formed in 1963 when the former British colonies of Singapore and the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak on the northern coast of Borneo joined the Federation. The first several years of the country’s history were marred by Indonesian efforts to control Malaysia, Philippine claims to Sabah, and Singapore’s secession from the Federation in 1965.历史最早有所记录的马来王国是在公元后十世纪的港口城市发展起来的。
