Abstract: This article discusses the Strategy of The Padri War in the face of the Netherlands in Minangkabau, which took place in the early 17th century, precisely from 1803 to 1838. The historical background of the Padri War began with religious and customary issues, but the final period of the Padri war on the own consciousness of the Padri and the Indigenous people turned into jointly against the Netherlands. This war became a place of resistance of the Minangkabau people against Netherlands invaders led by several prominent figures known as The Tiger Nan Salapan. The last period of the Padri war in 1830-1837, which was a war between the coalition of indigenous peoples and padri against the Netherlands, received its own assessment from the Netherlands. The Netherlands recognized that the Padri war was a difficult enough war for the Netherlands to win, and it became a record for the Netherlands that the Padri war was the longest war in Netherlands history. Guerrilla warfare strategy supported by the full force of indigenous people and Padri in the war overwhelmed the Netherlands forces, resulting in many casualties. After 35 years of Netherlands fighting against Padri forces, then Minangkabau can be controlled by the Netherlands, Tuanku Imam Bonjol as warlord Padri captured then on January 19, 1839 exiled to Ambon, then in 1841 transferred to Manado until his death on November 6, 1864.
