Description
- The Majapahit Empire (1293–1527) was a Hindu-Buddhist thalassocracy based in East Java, whose influence extended across much of today's Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines
- Construction: horizontal alternating red and white stripes — known as Gula Klapa ("palm sugar and coconut") — recorded as the naval banner of Majapahit fleets
- The same red-and-white dualism inspired the modern Indonesian and Monégasque national flags
Trivia
- Prime Minister Gajah Mada swore the Palapa oath in 1336, vowing to unite the archipelago under Majapahit
- The empire's decline began after the death of Hayam Wuruk in 1389, worsened by the rise of Islamic sultanates
- Majapahit coins and terracotta have been found from the Philippines to Madagascar
