He formally ceded his rights to the British Crown on 1 st July 1946, in return for a large pension, and retired to England. The Japanese invaded and conquered the Raj on Christmas day 1941, forced him into exile in Australia. His reign lasted 39 years, but his interests lay outside Sarawak. Charles was succeeded in 1917 by his third, but eldest surviving son, Charles Vyner. He expanded trade and commerce, encouraged immigration and accepted a British Protectorate over Sarawak, 14 th June 1888. Charles Brooke, the second Rajah of Sarawak, greatly extended and pacified his inheritance. He left his vast domain to his nephew, younger son of one of his surviving sister. He conquered a vast slice of the North Eastern coast of Borneo, so large that it was to dwarf the domains of his erstwhile suzerain. He secured the title of Rajah of Sarawak and had this recognised by Great Britain. Succeeding in his task, he first secured appointment as the Sultan's Governor, but succeeded in establishing his independence in 18 th August 1842. Entering the Sultan of Brunei's service, he set about pacifying the wild territory known as Sarawak. James Brooke, a former army officer from Bengal, arrived on the scene in the late 1830's. At least, so things stood until the arrival of a young English adventurer from India. The Dayak tribes and pirates that inhabited the territory were fiercely independent, frequently rejecting the Sultan's authority. BRIEF HISTORY The state of Sarawak originally formed part of the hereditary domains of the Sultan of Brunei, though his control over it was more apparent than real.
