In 1908, the Dutch colonial government forced the Bima Sultanate to sign a Longe Contract agreement. The Bima people did not accept the agreement because it meant the pride of the Bima sultanate. This research aims to analyze the background of the Bima people's resistance, the process of the event, and the impact of the Bima people's resistance to the Dutch. This research uses historical research methods with political, socio-cultural, and religious approaches. Data analysis uses four stages: heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography. The results showed that the resistance of the Bima people was caused by the lengthy contract that was detrimental to the Bima sultanate and demeaned the sultanate's dignity. The people of Bima, who are known for their strong Islamic understanding, did not want to submit to the Dutch colonial system. The resistance of the people of Bima occurred in three villages, namely Ngali, Dena, and Kala. Resistance efforts were able to be paralyzed by the Dutch, who had modern war weapons, and ended with the Dutch victory. The impact of the resistance resulted in the Tureli Council being replaced with the Royal Governing Council, the Hadat (adat) Council was narrowed, only taking care of Hadat (adat) affairs in the palace and its function as the Bima Sultanate Judicial Body, Islamic Law was replaced with Dutch Colonial Law.
