In the history of Greek culture is known an era called "Epics Era" (700-900 BC) or also known as the Heroic Era. In a time of great enthusiasm in the battle was born the famous literary works of Poet's "The Iliad and Odyssey" by Homer, poetry of Homer's war contains stories that burn the spirit of fighting the Greeks. For over 3000 years later was born the great work of Hikayat Prang Sabi by Tengku Chik Pante Kulu, Poetry-War or Hikayat Prang Sabii also contains stories that arouse the fighting spirit of the Acehnese nation against the Dutch. The half-century Aceh War was called the oldest Dutch war and was wasted in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The war began after the signing of an agreement between the Netherlands and Britain, called the Sumatra Treaty in November 1871. In the treaty it was stated that Britain was not involved in the expansion of Dutch power, including in Sumatra. It was recorded on 5 April 1873 that the Dutch invaded Aceh. The first aggression lasted 18 days with defeat on the Dutch side. Six months later, exactly 16 November 1873, the Dutch again launched a second aggression that occurred about 3 months. On 26 January 1874 the Dutch under the command of Lieutenant General J. Van Swieten succeeded in occupying the center of the kingdom of Aceh. The Sultan and the leaders of Aceh's kingdom moved back and forth as they rebuilt the power to recapture Aceh. In one of the deliberations around 500 prominent leaders declared and called for a total resistance called Jihad fi Sabilillah or a war of sabil to all the people of Aceh to fight After being consolidated to various regions, it was appointed Tengku Haji Muhammad Saman who was famous for Teungku Chik in Tiro as Commander of War Highest in Sabil War.
