In January 1824, a peace treaty was signed between the Dutch and Padri forces, temporarily ending hostilities in the Padri War.
The Treaty of Masang was signed in January 1824, marking a temporary end to the skirmishes that had plagued West Sumatra since 1821. The agreement was intended to stabilize the region following years of conflict between the Padri and the Adat faction, supported by Dutch intervention. However, the treaty's durability was compromised when a new commander arrived and dishonored the agreement, leading to further instability.
