The Ottoman Empire during the time of Sultan Selim II sent its best soldiers and war equipment in order to help the Aceh kingdom defeat European colonialism, namely the Portuguese and the Dutch. The historical reality of this relationship can be seen from the existence of the graves of Turkish soldiers in the Bitai area which was the headquarters of the Turkish army.
