Abstract
This study aims to answer the problem of why Java experienced such a long pause from a series of warfare until 1757. At the same time, there was prosperity in Java, which was marked by the rapid increase in agricultural production in the colonial era by the Dutch Company. The subject matter was the keris Pangeran Jimat from the era of the Demak kingdom in 1626, as well as Keris Mintaraga and Keris Rapalan. This keris was made to accompany the manufacture of the giant cannon called Ki Jimat which was used to attack the Portuguese occupation in Malacca. The historical method is used to solve this problem, especially in the prohibition of importing iron into Java. Meanwhile iron is the main ingredient in keris making. This import ban sparked the awareness of Susuhunan Pakubuwana III to stop the war that had killed so many Moslems. The stopping of the war by Company and the Mataram kingdom was based on the fact that all soldiers were warriors whose lives were very valuable. In 1757 the war ceased for a long period of time and Java achieved temporary prosperity.
