Hi I'm Martha Christina TiahahuI was born on Abubu Village near Maluku.
In January 4 1800 Martha Christiana Tiahahu was born on Abubu Village near Maluku.
When she joined the military
Since my Father is a military captain I joined the army at 17 years old.
Because her father was a military captain, Tiahahu was activein military matters from a young age. She joined the war led by Pattimura against the Dutch when she was 17 years old.
During the war
Help us!
We did it! We burned Duurstede fortress to the ground!
Beginning in 1817, Tiahahu joined her father, CaptainPaulus Tiahahu in a guerrilla* war against the Dutch. Theyalso backed Pattimura's army. She and her troops succeededin burning Duurstede Fortress to the ground.
Martha showed courage when she fought for Indonesia from the Dutch colonization.
Punishment
Hurry up you lousy people!Its about time you're done!
1 Samuel 17:45 David said to the Philistine, "You come against me with a sword and spear and javelin, but I came against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
When she died
Tiahahu, her father, and Pattimura were captured in October 1817. But Martha was the only soldierwho did not get punished; due to her young age. Shewas young and brave. She continued to fight, andwas captured again and taken to Java
Help!
Stop!
Be quiet!
No! You stop!!!
So while on the journey Tiahahu and 39 others was forced to do coffee plantation in 1817.
I'm to old for this stuff!
I'm so hungry and thirsty !!!
Help us!!!
During the journey to Java Martha was very ill but she refused to take any medicine. Her health became worse and she died on January 2 1818. The Maluku government made a monument to commemorate* thestruggles of Martha Christina Tiahahu.
Lesson learned: I learned that Martha was brave when she fought for Indonesia.
