The siege of Yogyakarta took place during the Java War.[2] Javanese rebel forces attacked Dutch troops of the city of Yogyakarta, with initial great success. Javanese rebels looted and burned the city after the initial Dutch forces surrendered. However, after a counteroffensive led by General De Kock, the siege of the city was broken, leading to a Dutch victory.[1]
