The Dutch–Selangor war also known as Perang Satu Malam (One Night War), was a conflict over a fort in Bukit Malawati. The Dutch saw this as an opportunity to attack Selangor as a response to Selangor's raids on Dutch Malacca. This enraged Sultan Ibrahim of Selangor who was still governing the sultanate. Both countries signed a peace treaty which later improved relations.
