Pulau Bali
History of Bali
At the time of Holland’s final conquest of Bali in 1906, the island was administered by autonomous lords and their officials. Each of its nine warring principalities-Klungkung, Karangasem, Mengwi, Badung, Bangli, Tabanan, Gianyar, Buleleng and Jembrana-was separated by sharply demarcated borders and each competed for the loyalty, support, and deference of the population.
Tourism in Bali
The Balinese have been more exposed to international tourists and generally speak more english than people in other parts of the Indonesian archipelago. They have managed to preserve their culture despite overwhelming foreign influences brought to the region by an ever increasing number of tourists.
