The Kingdom of Malacca has played a leading role in the history of the area since its founding in 1402 by Parameswara. With the arrival of the Portuguese however, a period of wars for control of the Malay states around the Straits, began.

The situation was aggravated with the arrival of the Dutch and the British in the early 17th century. A turbulent conflict followed, but was partially resolved by the Treaty of London in 1824, which gave the Dutch control of all territories claimed by European countries south of Singapore.

This area included Riau, and effectively severed its links with Johor and the mainland. The Dutch subjugated and dissolved the rebellious Riau Sultanate in 1911, but the influence of the province remained strong.
