The collapse of Sriwijaya Kingdom
The kingdom of Sriwijaya was ruined when King Rajendra Chola, the ruler of the Cholamandala Kingdom struck twice in the years 1007 and 1023 AD which captured the cities of Srivijaya. This battle is caused because the Kingdom of Sriwijaya and the Kingdom of Cholamandala compete in the field of trade and shipping. Thus, the purpose of the Cholamandala Kingdom attack was not to colonize but to undermine Sriwijaya's fleet. This caused the economic of Sriwijaya Kingdom to weaken because traders who usually trade in Sriwijaya Kingdom continue to decrease. Not only that, the military power of Srivijaya also weakened so much that many of his subordinate areas escape. Finally, the kingdom of Sriwijaya collapsed in the 13th century.
