User:Mhatopzz/Golden Age of Ternate

The golden age of Ternate was a period in the history of the Sultanate of Ternate in which Ternate became an independent regional power, and oversaw a vast spice trading empire that made the sultanate a name to be reckoned with far beyond its shores. Ternate was unquestionably the most prosperous trading center in the eastern part of the Malay Archipelago. The era roughly spanning during the reign of Sultan Baabullah (1570–1583), who successfully regained Ternate from the Portuguese hand until the end of the reign of his son, Sultan Saidi Berkat (1570–1583), in which the Spanish conquered the island in 1606.
