in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, seram was generally within the sphere of influence of ternate, although it was often ruled more directly by the ternaten vassal state of buru. the expedition of antónio de abreu (as captain) and francisco serrão sighted and explored the entire southern coast of seram in early 1512, for the first time for europeans. portuguese missionaries were active there in the 16th century. dutch trading posts were opened in the early 17th century, and the island came under nominal dutch control c. 1650. in the 1780s, seram provided a key base of support for prince nuku of tidore's long-running rebellion against dutch rule. from 1954 until 1962 the island's mountain terrain was the scene of an armed guerilla struggle against indonesian rule by the counter revolutionary republic of south moluccas movement led by soumokil.

east timor has been nominally catholic since early in the portuguese colonial period. the catholic faith became a central part of east timorese culture during the indonesian occupation between 1975 and 1999 . while under portuguese rule, the east timorese had mostly been animist, sometimes integrated with minimal catholic ritual, the number of catholics dramatically increased under indonesian rule. this was for several reasons: indonesia was predominantly muslim; the indonesian state required adherence to one of five officially recognised religions and did not recognise traditional beliefs; and because the catholic church, which remained directly responsible to the vatican throughout indonesian rule, became a refuge for east timorese seeking sanctuary from persecution.
