At the peak of Bruneian Empire, Sultan Bolkiah (reigned 1485–1528) is alleged to have
had control over most regions of Borneo, including modern-day Sarawak and Sabah, as
well as the Sulu archipelago off the northeast tip of Borneo, Seludong(modern-
day Manila), and the islands off the northwest tip of Borneo. The maritime state was
visited by Spain's Magellan Expedition in 1521 and fought against Spain in 1578's Castille
War.
During the 19th century, the Bruneian Empire began to decline. The Sultanate ceded
Sarawak (Kuching to James Brooke and installed him as the White Rajah, and it ceded
Sabah to the British North Borneo Chartered Company. In 1888, Brunei became a
British protectorate and was assigned a British resident as colonial manager in 1906.
After the Japanese occupation duringWorld War II in 1959 a new constitution was
written. In 1962, a small armed rebellion against the monarchy was ended with the help
of the British.
