But there is also a folklore that mention that term <i>Minangkabau</i> came from a popular legend that was derived from a territorial dispute between a people and a prince from a neighbouring region. To avoid the battle, the local people proposed a fight to the death between two <a href="/wiki/Water_buffalo" title="Water buffalo">water buffaloes</a> (<i>kabau</i>) to settle the dispute. The prince agreed and produced the largest, meanest, most aggressive buffalo. The villagers on other hand produced a hungry baby calf with its small horns ground to be as sharp as knives. Seeing the adult buffalo across the field, the calf ran forward, hoping for milk. The big buffalo saw no threat in the baby buffalo and paid no attention to it, looking around for a worthy opponent. But when the baby thrust his head under the big bull's belly, looking for an udder, the sharpened horns punctured and killed the bull giving the villagers their victory (<i>menang</i>, hence <i>minang kabau</i>: "victors of the buffalo" which eventually became <i>Minangkabau</i>). That legend, however, is known to be a mere tale and that the word "minang" is too far from the word "menang" which means 'win'.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

The first contact between the Minangkabau and western nations occurred with the 1529 voyage of <a href="/wiki/Jean_Parmentier_(explorer)" title="Jean Parmentier (explorer)">Jean Parmentier</a> to Sumatra. The <a href="/wiki/Dutch_East_India_Company" title="Dutch East India Company">Dutch East India Company</a> first acquired gold at <a href="/wiki/Pariaman" title="Pariaman">Pariaman</a> in 1651, but later moved south to <a href="/wiki/Padang,_Indonesia" class="mw-redirect" title="Padang, Indonesia">Padang</a> to avoid interference from the Acehnese occupiers. In 1663 the Dutch agreed to protect and liberate local villages from the Acehnese in return for a trading monopoly, and as a result setup trading posts at <a href="/wiki/Painan" title="Painan">Painan</a> and <a href="/wiki/Padang,_Indonesia" class="mw-redirect" title="Padang, Indonesia">Padang</a>. Until early in the 19th century the Dutch remained content with their coastal trade of gold and produce, and made no attempt to visit the Minangkabau highlands. As a result of conflict in Europe, the British occupied Padang from 1781 to 1784 during the <a href="/wiki/Fourth_Anglo-Dutch_War" title="Fourth Anglo-Dutch War">Fourth Anglo-Dutch War</a>, and again from 1795 to 1819 during the <a href="/wiki/Napoleonic_Wars" title="Napoleonic Wars">Napoleonic Wars</a>. </p><p>Late in the 18th century the gold supply which provided the economic base for Minangkabau royalty began to be exhausted. Around the same time other parts of the Minangkabau economy had a period of unparalleled expansion as new opportunities for the export of agricultural commodities arose, particularly with coffee which was in very high demand. A civil war started in 1803 with the <i>Padri</i> fundamentalist Islamic group in conflict with the traditional syncretic groups, elite families and Pagaruyung royals. As a result of a treaty with a number of penghulu and representatives of the Minangkabau royal family, Dutch forces made their first attack on a Padri village in April 1821.<sup id="cite_ref-Dobbin1977_11-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Dobbin1977-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The first phase of the war ended in 1825 when the Dutch signed an agreement with the Padri leader <a href="/wiki/Tuanku_Imam_Bonjol" title="Tuanku Imam Bonjol">Tuanku Imam Bonjol</a> to halt hostilities, allowing them to redeploy their forces to fight the <a href="/wiki/Java_War" title="Java War">Java War</a>. When fighting resumed in 1832, the reinforced Dutch troops were able to more effectively attack the Padri.

New forms of education were introduced, allowing some Minangkabau to take advantage of a modern education system. The 20th century marked a rise and cultural and political nationalism, culminating in the demand for Indonesian independence. Later rebellions against the Dutch occupation occurred such as the 1908 Anti-Tax Rebellion and the 1927 Communist uprising. During World War II the Minangkabau territories were occupied by the Japanese, and when the Japanese surrendered in August 1945 Indonesia proclaimed independence. The Dutch attempts to regain control of the area were ultimately unsuccessful and in 1949 the Minangkabau territories became part of Indonesia as the province of Central Sumatra. </p><p>In February 1958, dissatisfaction with the centralist and communist-leaning policies of the <a href="/wiki/Sukarno" title="Sukarno">Sukarno</a> administration triggered a revolt which was centred in the Minangkabau region of Sumatra, with rebels proclaiming the <a href="/wiki/Pemerintah_Revolusioner_Republik_Indonesia" class="mw-redirect" title="Pemerintah Revolusioner Republik Indonesia">Revolutionary Government of the Republic of Indonesia</a> (PRRI) in <a href="/wiki/Bukittinggi" title="Bukittinggi">Bukittinggi</a>.
