One can say that the history of the Sultanate Aceh Dar-as Salam was profoundly embedded in the history of the Straits region. Portuguese conquest of Malacca merely revolutionized the region's history. Aceh was Portuguese Malacca's nemesis.The antagonism between them is usually viewed by historians as rising from greed for trade and territory,almost denying that differences in ideology and faith were important indicators for the struggle.
