Morotai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (302 words)
Morotai Island (695 sq mi/1,800 km²) is an island located in the Halmahera group of eastern Indonesia's Maluku Islands (Moluccas).
During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Morotai was generally within the sphere of influence of the powerful sultanate on the island of Ternate.
The Muslim states on Ternate and Halmahera resented the outpost for its proselytising activities, and managed to drive the mission from the island in 1571, as a part of a larger Portuguese retreat in the region.
