Gotfried Coenraad Ernst Frits van Daalen (23 March 1863 – 22 February 1930) was an 'Indo' (Eurasian) Lieutenant General of the Royal Dutch East Indies Army who served in the Dutch East Indies.

Van Daalen's 'Gajo-, Alas-, and Batak Campaign' of the Aceh War in 1904 is mostly remembered for his hard crack down of the last Acehnese and Batak pockets of resistance.

Born in Oosterhout in 1857, Hurgronje became a theology student at Leiden University in 1874. He received his doctorate at Leiden in 1880 with his dissertation ‘Het Mekkaansche Feest’ ('The Festivities of Mecca'). He became a professor at the Leiden School for Colonial Civil Servants in 1881.<br/><br/>

Snouck, who was fluent in Arabic, through mediation with the Ottoman governor in Jeddah, was examined by a delegation of scholars from Mecca in 1884 and upon successfully completing the examination made the pilgrimage to Mecca posing as a Muslim convert.<br/><br/>

In 1889 he became professor of Malay at Leiden University and official advisor to the Dutch government on colonial affairs. He wrote more than 1,400 papers on the situation in Aceh and the position of Islam in the Dutch East Indies, as well as on the colonial civil service and nationalism.<br/><br/>

As the adviser of J. B. van Heutsz, he took an active role in the final part (1898–1905) of the Aceh War (1873–1914). He used his knowledge of Islamic culture to devise strategies which significantly helped crush the resistance of the Aceh inhabitants and impose Dutch colonial rule on them, ending a 40 year war with varying casualty estimates of between 50,000 and 100,000 inhabitants dead and about a million wounded.<br/><br/>

He returned to the Netherlands in 1906. Back in Leiden, Snouck continued a successful academic career.

Habib Abdurrahman al-Zahir was a Yemeni Arab from the Hadramaut region who served as Vizir to Sultan Alauddin Ibrahim Mansur Syah of Aceh (r. 1857-1870). Following the death of the latter, Az-Zahir served for a time as de facto regent before travelling to Istanbul to seek Ottoman Turkish support for Aceh against the Dutch.<br/><br/>

The Turks, however, only promised moral support, and al-Zahir returned to Aceh where he assumed a new role as a military commander against the Dutch in the service of Sultan Alauddin Muhammad Da'ud Syah II (r. 1875-1903).<br/><br/>

In 1878 the Sultan (though by no means all the Acehnese forces) submitted to the Dutch under Major General Karel van der Heijden. Al-Zahir was granted a Dutch monthly pension of 1000 dollars (2,500 guilders) for life. In exchange for a promise of no further interference in Aceh, al-Zahir was exiled to Arabia together with his wives at Dutch expense.He died, probably at Mecca, in 1896.
