Majapahit
Majapahit appears on the map from 1294 to 1518. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1363, it covered about 1.00 million km².
Majapahit was founded in 1293 by Raden Wijaya, a Javanese prince who cleverly used an invading Mongol army sent by Kublai Khan to defeat his rival, then turned on the Mongols and drove them out. From its capital at Trowulan in East Java the kingdom grew rich on rice farming and the spice trade. Under Queen Tribhuwana and her son Hayam Wuruk, the prime minister Gajah Mada vowed to unite the archipelago, and Majapahit claimed tribute from much of modern Indonesia, the Malay Peninsula and beyond, though it ruled directly mainly over Java, Madura and Bali.
