In the 1700s, it came under the influence, and later the imperialism of Netherland, though various parts had formerly been claimed by the Portuguese.

abstract
| - Java is a republic located in the western portion of Macronesia, referred to as "Nusantara". This thus also situates it in insular Southeast Asia. Java has been home to major Hindu and Muslim kingdoms for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, it came under the influence, and later the imperialism of Netherland, though various parts had formerly been claimed by the Portuguese. After over 200 years of Netherish influence, Java gained independence in 1946. Java has three main ethnic groups: The Javanese, the Sundanese, and the Madurese. Together, all citizens are referred to as "Javans". The Sundanese are predominantly Muslim, while the Javanese and Madurese are largely Hindu. The forms these religions take in Java and much of Nusantara vary widely from the forms in their homelands. (See the "Religions" section below.)
