The Timorese kingdoms were forced to send troops and 200 men annually to pan for gold in the mountains. Neither the military expeditions nor the gold prospecting brought the desired success.

Until 1915, the Dutch still had to send military expeditions into the interior almost every year to pacify the native population, mostly against the Amanuban Kingdom. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Westtimor_1911.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/60/Westtimor_1911.png/220px-Westtimor_1911.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="172" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/60/Westtimor_1911.png/330px-Westtimor_1911.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/60/Westtimor_1911.png/440px-Westtimor_1911.png 2x" data-file-width="2296" data-file-height="1796" /></a><figcaption>Dutch (orange) and Portuguese (green) Timor as seen by the Netherlands (1911)</figcaption></figure> <p>In 1851, the Portuguese governor <a href="/w/index.php?title=Jos%C3%A9_Joaquim_Lopes_de_Lima&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="José Joaquim Lopes de Lima (page does not exist)">José Joaquim Lopes de Lima</a> reached an agreement with the Dutch on the colonial boundaries in Timor, but without authorisation from Lisbon.

The various small kingdoms of Timor were divided under Dutch and Portuguese authority. The treaty had some weaknesses, however. One enclave without access to the sea remained in the territory of the other side.

In 1885, however, one of the larger kingdoms of West Timor, Sonba'i, fell into anarchy after the death of the Raja. When the Dutch governor and his garrison were not in Kupang, the colonial capital was even occupied by the rebels. The Dutch then abandoned their policy of non-interference in the internal affairs of the rulers they controlled.

Various ethnic groups that were part of the Wehale Kingdom or its close allies were divided by the border. Today, Tetum, Bunak and Kemak live both in Indonesian West Timor and in independent East Timor. Traditionally, there are still thoughts among these peoples about a <a href="/wiki/Great_Timor" title="Great Timor">united Timor</a>. There were conflicts between the different Timorese kingdoms, which already had their roots in pre-colonial times. Various reasons could then lead to the outbreak of armed conflicts between the Timorese. For example, the <i>Mold</i> and the <i>Miomafo</i> in south-central West Timor fought over gold mines between 1760 and 1782. From 1864 to 1870, <i>Sonba'i</i> and the <i>Sorbian of Amfo'an</i> fought over the rights to use some <a href="/wiki/Areca_catechu" title="Areca catechu">betel palms</a> in the Kupang kingdom.<sup id="cite_ref-:3_17-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:3-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Dutch, like the Portuguese in the eastern part of the island, had problems financing their colony.

In the past, these isolated plateaus and mountain landscapes favoured the emergence of politically relatively autonomous territories.</p><ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional center"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 185px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 180px; height: 150px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><span title="Rainy season at Soe (1990)"><img alt="Rainy season at Soe (1990)" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/Westtimor_Land_4.jpg/150px-Westtimor_Land_4.jpg" decoding="async" width="150" height="101" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/Westtimor_Land_4.jpg/225px-Westtimor_Land_4.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/Westtimor_Land_4.jpg/300px-Westtimor_Land_4.jpg 2x" data-file-width="697" data-file-height="471" /></span></span></div> <div class="gallerytext">Rainy season at <a href="/wiki/Soe,_Timor" title="Soe, Timor">Soe</a> (1990)</div> </li> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 185px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 180px; height: 150px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><span title="Dry season in Fatu Le`u (1991)"><img alt="Dry season in Fatu Le`u (1991)" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ea/Westtimor_Land_1.jpg/150px-Westtimor_Land_1.jpg" decoding="async" width="150" height="101" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ea/Westtimor_Land_1.jpg/225px-Westtimor_Land_1.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ea/Westtimor_Land_1.jpg/300px-Westtimor_Land_1.jpg 2x" data-file-width="698" data-file-height="471" /></span></span></div> <div class="gallerytext">Dry season in Fatu Le`u (1991)</div> </li> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 185px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 180px; height: 150px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><span title="Climate diagram of East Timor's Pante Macassar (Oe-Cusse Ambeno exclave)"><img alt="Climate diagram of East Timor's Pante Macassar (Oe-Cusse Ambeno exclave)" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c6/Pante_Macassar_Klimadiagramm.png/136px-Pante_Macassar_Klimadiagramm.png" decoding="async" width="136" height="120" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c6/Pante_Macassar_Klimadiagramm.png/204px-Pante_Macassar_Klimadiagramm.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c6/Pante_Macassar_Klimadiagramm.png/272px-Pante_Macassar_Klimadiagramm.png 2x" data-file-width="586" data-file-height="517" /></span></span></div> <div class="gallerytext">Climate diagram of East Timor's <a href="/wiki/Pante_Macassar" title="Pante Macassar">Pante Macassar</a> (<a href="/wiki/Oecusse" title="Oecusse">Oe-Cusse Ambeno</a> exclave)</div> </li> </ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Administration">Administration</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=West_Timor&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Administration"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Peta_Timor_Barat_-_Kabupaten_dan_Kecamatan.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/Peta_Timor_Barat_-_Kabupaten_dan_Kecamatan.png/220px-Peta_Timor_Barat_-_Kabupaten_dan_Kecamatan.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="171" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/Peta_Timor_Barat_-_Kabupaten_dan_Kecamatan.png/330px-Peta_Timor_Barat_-_Kabupaten_dan_Kecamatan.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/Peta_Timor_Barat_-_Kabupaten_dan_Kecamatan.png/440px-Peta_Timor_Barat_-_Kabupaten_dan_Kecamatan.png 2x" data-file-width="3209" data-file-height="2492" /></a><figcaption>Administrative divisions of Indonesian West Timor</figcaption></figure> <p>West Timor is part of the <a href="/wiki/East_Nusa_Tenggara" title="East Nusa Tenggara">East Nusa Tenggara</a> province.

Protestant missionaries later followed to West Timor. Today, around 95% of the inhabitants of West Timor are Christians (54% Protestant, and 41% Catholic), 5% are Muslims. The number of practising Christians is very high, at around 80 to 85 per cent. However, a 2001 survey revealed that more than 70 per cent of the population is still rooted in both ancestor worship and belief in spirits. </p><p>In the east of West Timor (Belu, Malaka and North Central Timor Regency), the proportion of Catholics is significantly higher. For example, 96.5% of the almost 500,000 people in the diocese of Atambua are Catholic.

The economy is mainly agricultural, using <a href="/wiki/Slash-and-burn" title="Slash-and-burn">slash-and-burn</a> methods to produce corn, rice, coffee, copra and fruit. Some timber harvesting is undertaken, producing eucalyptus, sandalwood, teak, bamboo and rosewood. An essential factor for the agriculture of these crops is the relationship between the duration and amount of rainfall, i.e. the duration of the drought is decisive for the cultivation of food crops; depending on the region, this can last up to nine months per year. For this reason, the most significant risk factor for agriculture is a lack of continuity in rainfall: Agriculture is a competition with the behaviour of the <a href="/wiki/Monsoon"
