The Mongol (Yuan) invasion of Java in 1293 crushed the Hindu Kingdom of Singhasari, which only recently in 1290 by a victory over Srivijaya had become the foremost political power in the Malay Archipelago. In 1293 the Hindu Majapahit Empire, capital Trowulan, was established; it grew to become the dominant political power in eastern and central Java. According to the Nagarakertagama much of the Malay archipelago was recognizing the suzerainty of Majapahit. In the 15th century, the influence of Majapahit was largely limited to central and eastern Java. By 1500, Majapahit disintegrated, to be replaced as the dominant force in eastern and central Java by the Sultanate of Demak.

Spelling alternatives : Majapahit, Mojopahit, Madja-Pahit, Madjapait, Majapait
