APEX AGE: EXPLORATION
The last great Hindu kingdom of Indonesia arose with the surprise betrayal of Kublai Khan's navy, paving the way for the Majapahit, who conquered and controlled the spice islands at the dawn of the global era. But after three hundred years of dominance, the winds began to change. Muslim trade networks sidelined the Majapahit state, forcing them to the island of Bali, where their legacy remains.
