The Sarawak Uprising of 1836 or sometimes called the Sarawak War of Independence or Sarawakian Revolutionary War, was a armed conflict against Brunei led by a former governor of Sarawak, Datu Patinggi Ali.
This war would lead to the demise of the Bruneian Empire and would open the doors of a new Sarawak after the war's end under the White Rajah, James Brooke who would modernise Sarawak to the European standard.
