As soon as the news spread throughout the city of Surabaya, just a Jl. Tunjungan flooded with people, ranging from teenage students to young adults, all ready to face all possibilities. The mass continued to flow until the hotel crowded pages and pages full adjoining building mass with anger. A little to the hotel's rear yard, some Japanese soldiers appear just in case. The situation was very explosive.

Soon Resident Sudirman come. The arrival of fighters and accomplished diplomat who had served as Deputy Resident (Fuku Syuco gunseikan) is still recognized by the government Dai Nippon Thank Surabaya, as well as a Resident Local Government Surabaya Indonesia, the crowd parted and went to the hotel. He wants to negotiate with Mr. Ploegman and friends. In those negotiations Sudirman requested that immediately descended tricolor.

Ploegman refused, even with the rough-threatening, "Allied troops have won the war, and because the Netherlands is a member of the Allies, the Dutch government is now entitled to re-establish the Dutch East Indies government. Republik Indonesia? That we do not admit." As he raised his revolver, forcing Sudirman Ploegman to immediately go and let the Dutch flag still flying.

Seeing it was not profitable, youth Sidik and accompanying Hariyono Sudirman take tactical steps. Sidik kicked Ploegman revolver from his hand. Revolver bounced and exploded without hitting anyone. Sudirman Hariyono immediately brought out, while the prints continued to wrestle with Ploegman and strangle to death. Some Dutch soldiers barging in because we heard a pistol shot, and with a long sword and then toward disabetkan Sidik. Sidik had collapsed.

In addition, many organizations struggle that has shaped society, including among the youth, students and students. Agencies that struggle has emerged as a manifestation of joint determination to defend the young republic, to disarm the Japanese troops, and to oppose the entry of return of Dutch colonialism (the ride with the presence of British troops in Indonesia).

Resistance so it can last very long, lasting from day to day and from week to another week. Resistance of the people who were originally done spontaneously and not coordinated, increasingly regularly. Large-scale battle takes up to a month, before the whole town fell in the hands of the British.

The bloody incident in Surabaya when it also had to move people's resistance across Indonesia to expel invaders and defend freedom. The number of fighters who have died and people who become victims when he was later remembered as Heroes Day.

Pada tanggal 9 November 1938, dalam acara yang akan memberi pertanda Holocaust, Jerman Nazi meluncurkan kampanye teror terhadap orang-orang Yahudi dan rumah-rumah mereka dan bisnis di Jerman dan Austria. Kekerasan, yang berlanjut sampai November 10 dan itu kemudian dijuluki "Kristallnacht," atau "Night of Broken Glass," setelah jendela-jendela hancur tak terhitung milik Yahudi Pendirian, kiri sekitar 100 orang Yahudi tewas, 7.500 rusak bisnis Yahudi dan ratusan rumah-rumah ibadat, rumah, sekolah dan kuburan dirusak. Sekitar 30.000 orang Yahudi ditangkap, banyak di antaranya yang kemudian dikirim ke kamp konsentrasi selama beberapa bulan, mereka dilepaskan ketika mereka berjanji untuk meninggalkan Jerman. Kristallnacht mewakili peningkatan yang dramatis dari kampanye dimulai oleh Adolf Hitler pada tahun 1933 ketika ia menjadi rektor untuk membersihkan Jerman dari penduduk Yahudi.


Nazi menggunakan pembunuhan tingkat rendah diplomat Jerman di Paris oleh 17-polish tahun Yahudi sebagai alasan untuk melaksanakan serangan Kristallnacht. Pada 7 November 1938, Ernst vom Rath ditembak di luar kedutaan Jerman oleh Herschel Grynszpan, yang ingin membalas dendam untuk orang tuanya tiba-tiba deportasi dari Jerman ke Polandia, bersama puluhan ribu orang Yahudi Polandia lainnya. Menyusul kematian vom Rath, menteri propaganda Nazi Joseph Goebbels badai Jerman memerintahkan polisi untuk melakukan kekerasan kerusuhan menyamar sebagai "demonstrasi spontan" terhadap warga Yahudi. Lokal polisi dan pemadam kebakaran tidak diberitahu untuk ikut campur. Dalam menghadapi semua kehancuran, beberapa orang Yahudi, termasuk seluruh keluarga, bunuh diri. 



Dalam setelah Kristallnacht, Nazi menyalahkan orang-orang Yahudi dan didenda mereka 1 milyar tanda (atau $ 400 juta pada tahun 1938 dolar) untuk kematian vom Rath. Sebagai pelunasan, pemerintah menyita harta Yahudi dan menyimpan uang asuransi hutang kepada orang-orang Yahudi. Dalam upaya untuk menciptakan master ras Arya, ditetapkan pemerintah Nazi lebih lanjut kebijakan diskriminatif yang pada dasarnya tidak termasuk orang-orang Yahudi dari semua aspek kehidupan publik. 



Lebih dari 100.000 orang Yahudi melarikan diri dari Jerman untuk negara-negara lain setelah Kristallnacht. Masyarakat internasional sangat marah dengan peristiwa kekerasan November 9 dan 10. Beberapa negara memutuskan hubungan diplomatik sebagai protes, tapi Nazi tidak mengalami konsekuensi serius, yang menyebabkan mereka percaya bahwa mereka bisa lolos dari pembunuhan massal yang Holocaust, di mana sekitar 6 juta orang Yahudi Eropa meninggal.

Sinar X Ditemukan

Pada tanggal 8 November 1895, ahli fisika Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845-1923) menjadi orang pertama untuk mengamati X-ray, kemajuan ilmu pengetahuan yang signifikan yang pada akhirnya akan menguntungkan berbagai bidang, hampir semua obat-obatan, dengan membuat yang tidak tampak terlihat. Penemuan Rontgen terjadi secara tidak sengaja di Wurzburg, Jerman, laboratorium, di mana ia menguji apakah sinar katoda bisa menembus kaca ketika ia melihat suatu cahaya datang dari dekat layar dilapisi secara kimiawi. Dia dijuluki sebagai sinar cahaya ini yang menyebabkan sinar-X karena diketahui mereka alam. 

X-sinar gelombang energi elektromagnetik yang bertindak mirip dengan cahaya sinar, tapi pada panjang gelombang sekitar 1.000 kali lebih pendek daripada cahaya. Rontgen melakukan serangkaian percobaan untuk lebih memahami penemuannya. Dia belajar bahwa sinar-X dapat menembus daging manusia tetapi tidak tinggi kerapatan zat-zat seperti tulang atau memimpin dan karenanya bisa difoto. 

Penemuan Rontgen adalah label keajaiban medis dan sinar-X segera menjadi alat diagnostik yang penting dalam kedokteran, memungkinkan dokter untuk melihat bagian dalam tubuh manusia untuk pertama kalinya tanpa operasi. Pada tahun 1897, sinar-X pertama kali digunakan pada medan perang militer, selama Perang Balkan, untuk menemukan peluru dan patah tulang di dalam pasien. 

Ilmuwan cepat menyadari manfaat dari sinar-X, tetapi lambat untuk memahami efek berbahaya dari radiasi. Pada awalnya, diyakini X-ray melewati daging sebagai sebagai cahaya tak berbahaya. Namun, dalam beberapa tahun, para peneliti mulai melaporkan kasus luka bakar dan kerusakan kulit setelah terkena sinar-X, dan pada tahun 1904, Thomas Edison asisten, Clarence bermain-main, yang telah bekerja secara ekstensif dengan X-ray, meninggal karena kanker kulit. Lengah kematian disebabkan beberapa ilmuwan untuk mulai mengambil risiko radiasi lebih serius, tetapi mereka masih belum sepenuhnya dipahami. Selama tahun 1930-an, 40-an dan 50-an, pada kenyataannya, banyak toko sepatu Amerika fitur fluoroscopes pas sepatu yang digunakan sinar-X untuk memungkinkan pelanggan untuk melihat tulang-tulang di kaki mereka, tetapi tidak sampai tahun 1950-an bahwa praktek ini bertekad untuk menjadi berisiko. 

Wilhelm Rontgen menerima berbagai penghargaan untuk karyanya, termasuk yang pertama Nobel dalam Fisika pada tahun 1901, namun ia tetap rendah hati dan tidak pernah mencoba paten penemuannya.

One of the most appropriate figures to be discussed in any discussion of the crusade is Richard the Lionheart! He ruled England only a short time (10 years) 1189-1199.Lahir with the original name Richard Plantagenet in Oxfordshire UK, 8 September 1157 (Richard's 19 years younger than Salladinyang born in 1138). Richard has English blood from his father and French from his mother.

Richard was a child to 2 of 8 brothers. Oldest brother died as an infant, so Richard was appointed as the heir Aquitane - a county / small area in southern France. Henry's younger brother became heir to the throne of England. He just rode born England d because he passed childhood to adulthood in Aquitane - French.

Then he went one by one Arab Cavalry soldiers and challenged them berduel.Namun first person to be challenged even menundukan head, then he went to the next soldier, and so on until the shouts of victory fell silent all the Arab armies.

When he came face to face with Saladin, Saladin was smiling and then ordered the army to retreat. Top performance is spirited, Saladin then called Richard 'The Lionheart "or" The Heart of a lion ".

The historians wrote that the exhibition of courage on the day Richard was heartbreaking even Saladin Saladin was admired Richard.Selain also felt that although his army superior in number, but they also are too tired to fight anymore.

Julius Robert Oppenheimer, inventor of the Atomic Bomb

Most people think the Albert Einstein was the inventor of the atomic bomb, but the inventor was J. Robert Oppenheimer. J. Robert Oppenheimer's name will always be remembered and praised the creation of a powerful destructive tool in the 1940s, the Atomic Bomb. Summer of 1945 when they will be dropped bombs on two Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that made Japan surrender immediately.

Oppenheimer was born in New York City on 22 April 1904. He grew up in Ney York and attend school there ethnic culture. Initially, he was interested in the field of language and want to learn one of them summarily. In addition, he was also very interested in math and science, and more seriously than peers at it.

After graduating from Harvard University in 1925, Oppenheimer studied at Cambridge University in England and pursue a PhD in Germany. He returned to the United States in 1929 and began teaching at the University of California at Berkeley and the California Institute of Technologi.

Oppenheimer is very concerned with the rise of fascist forces in the 1930s and tried hard against it. In 1939, when the United States know that the Germans had succeeded in separating the atomic nucleus, which resulted in the Nazis could develop a powerful weapon in an extraordinary manner.

President Roosevelt to set up the Manhattan Project in 1941 to rival the Germans. In July 1942, Robert Oppenheimer was appointed as its director. Oppenheimer set up the research base to develop an atomic bomb and other weapons at Los Alamos, New Mexico. Meanwhile, another study was also conducted at Columbia University, the University of Chicago, and in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

Oppenheimer invites experienced physicists to Los Alamos to work together to create the atomic bomb. Oppenheimer finally handle a team of experts consisting of over 3000 people. Dated July 16, 1945, Oppenheimer witnessed the first atomic bomb explosion in the desert of New Mexico, and some people say this is what changed world history forever. Distance month after the experiment, two atomic bombs dropped on two cities in Japan. So that Japan surrendered on August 10, 1945.

After the war, Oppenheimer led the Atomic Energy Commission United States. When President Truman approved the hydrogen bomb development program is more powerful level again, Oppenheimer opposed it. But the political temperature then heated and pressed.

December 21, 1953, Oppenheimer trial for charges of treason by the Soviet spies and also their resistance in the manufacture of hydrogen bombs. Although eventually the charge was not proven, it has security access revoked and his contract as adviser to the Atomic Energy Commission terminated.

In 1963, President Lyndon B. Johnson even gave credit to Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi Award of the Atomic Energy Commission. Last Oppenheimer taught at Princeton University and retired in 1966. A year later he died of throat cancer.

* Atomic Bomb is not the inventor Albert Einstein, but Oppenheimer, Oppenheimer only use the theory of relativity as an inspiration. A lot of our misguided creators that Albert Einsteinlah atomic bomb. 





"Fat Man" is the code that dropped the atomic bomb on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, 3 days after the first nuclear bombing in Hiroshima. The name is taken as a bomb design used, the model "Fat Man". This weapon is implossion-type with a core of plutonium. The bomb was detonated at an altitude of 550 m above the ground. Transported to the B-29 Bockscar, this bomb is estimated to have a yield equivalent to 20 kilotons of TNT.

This bomb has a long 3:25 m, 1:52 m in diameter and weighs 4630 kg. This bomb has several layers of explosives where there is a bomb in the center of plutonium in the sub-critical state, in the empty space, which is surrounded by high explosives, explosive type. A number of detonators placed on the surface of the explosives that triggered simultaneously. The resulting explosion produced pressure to the center of the bomb, so the density increases. This event will trigger the bomb-grade plutonium in the core become super critical and the chain reaction ensued to produce a nuclear explosion.

Although many of their leaders arrested, exiled and even killed, the resistance of the people in South Sulawesi are not unremitting. Almost every night there and shooting attacks against defense outposts Dutch army. Dutch officials have been very overwhelmed, because KNIL soldiers since July to replace the Australian army, unable to overcome the incessant attacks Republicans. They convey to the Dutch military leaders in Jakarta, that if the Republican armed resistance can not be overcome, they must release the South Sulawesi.

Then on November 9, 1946, Lieutenant General Spoor and chief of staff, Major General Buurman van Vreeden called the Dutch government leaders in South Sulawesi to the army headquarters in Batavia. It was decided to send special forces from the DST to destroy the leadership of Westerling bersenjataRepublik power and discourage the people who support the Republic of Indonesia. Westerling was given full authority to perform their duties and take steps deemed necessary.

On 15 November 1946, Lieutenant Vermeulen led the group I consisting of troops from the 20th Special Forces Depot (DST) to Makassar. Previously, NEFIS had established his headquarters in Makassar. Special forces are conjunct to garrison troops who had formed KNIL since October 1945. DST members immediately began the task to track down intelnya struggle Republican leadership and their supporters.

Westerling had just arrived in Makassar on December 5, 1946, led 120 men from the Special Forces DST. He established his headquarters in the village Matoangin. Here he set the strategy for Counter insurgency (crushing the rebellion) in its own way, and does not stick to Voorschrift voor de uitoefening van de Politiek-Politionele Taak van het Leger - VPTL (Implementation Guidelines for the Army to task in the field of political and Polisional), where has no provisions regarding the intelligence tasks and treatment of residents and prisoners. An official guidebook for Counter insurgency.


Military operations

The first stage

The first Action Special Forces operations DST begins on the night of 11 before December 12. The goal is Batua village and several small villages east of Makassar and Westerling himself who led the operation. The first 58-strong army of people led by Sergeant-Major H. Borong Dolkens invaded the village and the forces led by Sergeant Major Instructor J. Wolff operate in the village and Patunorang Batua. Westerling himself with Sergeant Major Instructor W. Uittenbogaard assisted by two orderly, a radio operator and the 10 people waiting in the village staff Batua.

In the first phase, 4 o'clock in the morning and surrounded the area along with the signal lights starting at 5:45 in search of people's homes. All the people were herded into the village Batua. In this phase, which 9orang immediately tried to escape were shot dead.

Westerling reported that the numbers between 3000 until the later 4.000orang women and children were separated from men.

The second phase begins, which is looking for "the extremists, robbers, criminals and murderers". Westerling himself in charge of this action and talk to the people, which translated into Bugis language. He has a list of the "rebels" who have been prepared by Vermeulen. Customary Chief and Chief of the Village to help identify the names. The result is 35 people accused of directly executed on the spot. Westerling method is known as the "Standrecht" "trial (and execution) in place. Westerling said in its report that it had sentenced the 11 extremists, 23 robbers, and a murderer.

The third phase is a threat to the people to act in the future, the replacement of the village chief and the establishment of a village policeman who must protect the village from the elements "insurgents, terrorists and robbers". After that the people sent home to their villages. The operation which lasted from 4 o'clock until 12:30 o'clock 44 has resulted in the deaths of villagers.

Thus "sweeping a la Westerling". With the same pattern, people slaughter operations in South Sulawesi continues. Westerling also led his own operation in the village of Tanjung Bunga on the night of 12 before 13 Desember1946. 61 people shot dead. In addition several small villages around the village of Tanjung Bunga burned, so the death toll reached 81orang entirely.

Next on the night of 14 before December 15, Kalungkuang village turn located on the outskirts of the city of Makassar, 23 people people were shot dead. According to their intelligence reports, Wolter Monginsidi and Ali Malakka hunted by the Dutch army in this area, but they can not be found. On the night of 16 before the date of December 17, Jongayayang village located in the southeast of Makassar to the target. Here 33 people were executed.

The second stage

After cleaning the area around Makassar, the second phase of the action begins December 19, 1946. The goal is Polombangkeng located in the south of Makassar in which according to Dutch intelligence reports, there are about 150 military troops and about 100 paramilitary members berenjata. In this attack, troops stormed the DST with a platoon of 11 soldiers from the Army Infantry KNIL XVII. This raid led by Lieutenant Colonel KNIL Veenendaal. One army under the command of DST Vermeulen stormed the village Renajadan Komara village. Other forces locked Polombangkeng. Later the same pattern as in the first wave applied by Westerling. In this operation the 330 people killed.

Third stage

Action launched the third phase began on December 26, 1946 against Goa and conducted in three waves, namely dates 26 and December 29 and January 3, 1947. Here also is the cooperation between the Special Forces troops DST with KNIL. The death toll among the inhabitants numbered 257orang.

Emergency Pemberlakuaan

To further provide flexibility for Westerling, on January 6, 1947 General Spoor impose noodtoestand (emergency) for the region of South Sulawesi. The massacre of the people with sepertiyang pattern has been practiced by the special forces moved on and in many places, Westerling not only leading the operation, but people come to shoot dead alleged terrorists, robbers or murderers.

Mid-January 1947 the target is a market in Pare-Pare and continued in Madello, Abokangeng, Padakalawa, an unknown village, Enrekang, Talanbangi, Soppeng, Barru, Malimpung, and Suppa.

After that, there are still some villages and areas subject to the DST Special Forces, on 7 and 14 February in the coastal Tanette, on 16 and February 17 villages Bornong-Taraweang and Bornong. Then also in Mandar, where 364 residents were killed. Massacre of the "extremists" in the village escalating Kulo, Amperita and Maruanging where 171 people were killed without the slightest evidence presented their mistakes or motive for the murders.

H.C. Kavelaar, a KNIL draft, was an eyewitness massacre in the square in Tanette, where about 10 or 15 people were killed. He watched, how Westerling himself shot dead several people with his gun, while another platoon diberondong by DST with the sten gun.

In all places, collecting data about the people who support the Republic, the Dutch intelligence is always aided by the natives who were willing for the sake of money and position. In the action in Goa, the Netherlands assisted by a village head, Hamzah, who remained loyal to the Dutch.

Events galung Lombok

With the success quell the extremists, both among the Dutch to any civilian military reputation and the Special Forces commander DST, Westerling soar. Dutch media reported in superlatives. When the troops came back to DST DST Headquarters on March 23, 1947, the military weekly Het Weekblad Militair flatter with the news: "The Turkish troops back." News releases Dutch themselves critical of the massacre in South Sulawesi, a new show for the first time in July 1947.

DST camp then moved to Kalibata, and after that, because it is already too narrow, then moved to Batujajar near Cimahi. Month October 1947 reorganization of the body performed the DST and the composition of the Special Forces and consists of officers from KNIL 2, 3 officers from KL (Royal Army), 24 noncommissioned KNIL, 13 noncommissioned KL, 245 soldiers and 59 soldiers KNIL KL.

Westerling command larger units and more intense and the rank of Captain.

Victim

How many thousands of people in South Sulawesi who are victims of the violence of the Dutch army was not clear until now. In 1947, a delegation of the Republic of Indonesia told the UN Security Council, victims of the massacre of the population, conducted by Captain Raymond Westerling since December 1946 in South Sulawesi reached 40,000 inhabitants.

Examination in 1969 the Dutch government estimates that about 3,000 people were killed Sulawesi massacred by Westerling led the Special Forces, while Westerling himself said, that victims of acts committed by his troops "only" 600 people.

Westerling and his deeds, especially the army was able to escape from the demands of the Dutch Court of human rights violations because of actual terror acts are called contra-Guerilla, obtain permission from Lt. Gen. Spoor and Deputy Governor-General Dr. van Mook. So who actually is responsible for the massacre of the people of South Sulawesi is the Government and the Dutch Armed Forces.

Dutch army massacre in South Sulawesi, this can be incorporated into the category of crimes against humanity (crimes against humanity), which even now can be brought forward to the international court, because for the massacre of ethnic (Genocide) and crimes against humanity, there is no expiry date. Need pursued, the massacre was promoted to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, Netherlands.

Salahudin Al Ayubi atau sering juga di sebut sebagai “Saladin” di dunia barat, merupakan panglima perang Muslim yang dikagumi kepiawaian berperang serta keshalihannya baik kepada kawan dan lawan-lawannya. Keberanian dan kepahlawanannya tercatat sejarah di kancah perang salib.

Juli 1192 sepasukan muslim dalam perang salib menyerang tenda-tenda pasukan salib diluar benteng kota Jaffa, termasuk didalamnya ada tenda Raja Inggris, Richard I. Raja Richard pun menyongsong serangan pasukan muslim dengan berjalan kaki bersama para prajuritnya. Perbandingan pasukan muslim dengan Kristen adalah 4:1. Salahudin Al Ayubi yang melihat Richard dalam kondisi seperti itu berkata kepada saudaranya : ” Bagaimana mungkin seorang raja berjalan kaki bersama prajuritnya? Pergilah ambil kuda arab ini dan berikan kepadanya, seorang laki-laki sehebat dia tidak seharusnya berada di tempat ini dengan berjalan kaki “. Fragmen diatas dicatat sebagai salah satu karakter yang pemurah dari Salahudin, bahkan kepada musuhnya sekalipun. Walalupun sedang diatas angin tetap berlaku adil dan menghormati lawan-lawannya.

Sejarah Hidup Salahudin

Salahudin lahir disebuah kastil di Takreet tepi sungai Tigris (daerah Irak) tahun 1137 Masehi atau 532 Hijriyah. Bernama asli Salah al-Din Yusuf bin Ayub. Ayahnya Najm ad-Din masih keturunan suku Kurdi dan menjadi pengelola kastil itu. Setelah kelahiran Salahudin keluarga Najm-ad-Din bertolak ke Mosul, akibat ada konflik didalam kastil. Di Mosul , keluarga Najm bertemu dan membantu Zangi, seorang penguasa arab yang mencoba menyatukan daerah-daerah muslim yang terpecah menjadi beberapa kerajaan seperti Suriah, Antiokhia, Aleppo, Tripoli, Horns, Yarussalem, Damaskus.

Zangi berhasil menguasai Suriah selanjutnya Zangi bersiap untuk menghadapi serbuan tentara Salib dari Eropa yang telah mulai memasuki Palestina. Zangi bersama saudaranya; Nuruddin menjadi mentor bagi Salahudin kecil yang mulai tumbuh berkembang dalam lingkungan keluarga ksatria. Dari kecil sudah mulai terlihat karakter kuat Salahudin yang rendah hati, santu serta penuh belas kasih. Zangi meninggal digantikan Nuruddin. Paman Salahudin, Shirkuh kemudian ditunjuk untuk menaklukan Mesir yang saat itu sedang dikuasai dinasti Fatimiyah. Setelah penyerangan kelima kali, tahun 1189 Mesir dapat dikuasai. Shirkuh kemudian meninggal. Selanjutnya Salahudin diangkat oleh Nuruddin menjadi pengganti Shirkuh.

Salahudin yang masih muda dan dinggap “hijau” ternyata mampu melakukan mobilisasi dan reorganisasi pasukan dan perekonomian di Mesir, terutama untuk menghadapi kemungkinan serbuan balatentara Salib. Berkali-kali serangan pasukan Salib ke Mesir dapat Salahudin patahkan. Akan tetapi keberhasilan Salahudin dalam memimpin mesir mengakibatkan Nuruddin merasa khawatir tersaingi. Akibatnya hubungan mereka memburuk. Tahun 1175 Nuruddin mengirimkan pasukan untuk menaklukan Mesir. Tetapi Nuruddin meninggal saat armadanya sedang dalam perjalanan. Akhirnya penyerangan dibatalkan. Tampuk kekuasaan diserahkan kepada putranya yang masih sangat muda. Salahudin berangkat ke Damaskus untuk mengucapkan bela sungkawa. Kedatangannya banyak disambut dan dielu-elukan. Salahudin yang santun berniat untuk menyerahkan kekuasaan kepada raja yang baru dan masih belia ini. Pada tahun itu juga raja muda ini sakit dan meninggal. Posisinya digantikan oleh Salahudin yang diangkat menjadi pemimpin kekhalifahan Suriah dan Mesir.

Salahudin dan Perang Salib

Saat Salahudin berkuasa, perang salib sedang berjalan dalam fase kedua dengan dikuasainya Yerussalem oleh pasukan Salib. Namun pasukan Salib tidak mampu menaklukan Damaskus dan Kairo. Saat itu terjadi gencatan senjata antara Salahudin dengan Raja Yerussalem dari pasukan Salib, Guy de Lusignan.

Perang salib yang disebut-sebut sebagai fase ketiga dipicu oleh penyerangan pasukan Salib terhadap rombongan peziarah muslim dari Damaskus. Penyerangan ini dipimpin oleh Reginald de Chattilon penguasa kastil di Kerak yang merupakan bagian dari Kerajaan Yerussalem. Seluruh rombongan kafilah ini dibantai termasuk saudara perempuan Salahudin. Insiden ini menghancurkan kesepakatan gencatan senjata antara Damaskus dan Yerussalem. Maret 1187 setelah bulan suci Ramadhan, Salahudin menyerukan Jihad Qittal. Pasukan muslimin bergerak menaklukan benteng-benteng pasukan Salib. Puncak kegemilangan Salahudin terjadi di Perang Hattin.

Perang Hattin terjadi di bulan Juli yang kering. Pasukan muslim dengan jumlah 25000 orang mengepung tentara salib didaerah Hattin yang menyerupai tanduk. Pasukan muslim terdiri atas 12000 orang pasukan berkuda (kavaleri) sisanya adalah pasukan jalan kaki (infanteri). Kavaleri pasukan muslim menunggangi kuda yaman yang gesit dengan pakaian dari katun ringan (kazaghand) untuk meminimalisir panas terik di padang pasir. Mereka terorganisir dengan baik, berkomunikasi dengan bahasa arab. Pasukan dibagi menjadi beberapa skuadron kecil dengan menggunakan taktik hit and run.


Pasukan salib terdiri atas tiga bagian. Bagian depan pasukan adalah pasukan Hospitaler, bagian tengah adalah batalyon kerajaan yang dipimpin Guy de Lusignan yang juga membawa Salib besar sebagai lambang kerajaan. Bagian belakang adalah pasukan ordo Knight Templar yang dipimpin Balian dari Ibelin. Bahasa yang mereka gunakan bercampur antara bahasa Inggris, Perancis dan beberapa bahasa eropa lainnya. Seperti umumnya tentara Eropa mereka menggunakan baju zirah dari besi yang berat, yang sebetulnya tidak cocok digunakan di perang padang pasir.

Salahudin memanfaatkan celah-celah ini. Malam harinya pasukan muslimin membakar rumput kering disekeliling pasukan Salib yang sudah sangat kepanasan dan kehausan. Besok paginya Salahudin membagikan anak panah tambahan pada pasukan kavalerinya untuk membabat habis kuda tunggangan musuh. Tanpa kuda dan payah kepanasan, pasukan salib menjadi jauh berkurang kekuatannya. Saat peperangan berlangsung dengan kondisi suhu yang panas hampir semua pasukan salib tewas. Raja Yerussalem Guy de Lusignan berhasil ditawan sedangkan Reginald de Chattilon yang pernah membantai khalifah kaum muslimin langsung dipancung. Kepada Raja Guy, Salahudin memperlakukan dengan baik dan dibebaskan dengan tebusan beberapa tahun kemudian.

Menuju Yerussalem

Dari Hattin, Salahudin bergerak menuju kota-kota Acre, Beirut dan Sidon untuk dibebaskan. Selanjutnya Salahudin bergerak menuju Yerussalem. Dalam pembebasan kota-kota ataupun benteng Salahudin selalu mengutamakan jalur diplomasi dan penyerahan daripada langsung melakukan penyerbuan militer. Pasukan Salahudin mengepung Kota Yerussalem , pasukan salib di Yerussalem dipimpin oleh Balian dari Obelin. Empat hari kemudian Salahudin menerima penawaran menyerah dari Balian. Yerussalem diserahkan ketangan kaum muslimin. Salahuddin menjamin kebebasan dan keamanan kaum Kristen dan Yahudi. Fragmen ini di abadikan dalam film “Kingdom Of Heaven” besutan sutradara Ridley Scott. Tanggal 27 Rajab 583 Hijriyah atau bertepatan dengan Isra Mi’raj Rasulullah SAW, Salahudin memasuki kota Yerussalem

Di Yerussalem, Salahudin kembali menampilkan kebijakan dan sikap yang adil sebagai pemimpin yang shalih. Mesjid Al-Aqsa dan Mesjid Umar bin Khattab dibersihkan tetapi untuk Gereja Makam Suci tetap dibuka serta umat Kristiani diberikan kebebasan untuk beribadah didalamnya. Salahudin berkata :” Muslim yang baik harus memuliakan tempat ibadah agama lain”. Sangat kontras dengan yang dilakukan para pasukan Salib di awal penaklukan kota Yerussalem (awal perang salib), sejarah mencatat kota Yerussalem digenangi darah dan mayat dari penduduk muslimin yang dibantai. Sikap Salahudin yang pemaaf dan murah hati disertai ketegasan adalah contoh kebaikan bagi seluruh alam yang diperintahkan ajaran Islam.

Salahudin Al-Ayubi tidak tinggal di istana megah. Ia justru tinggal di mesjid kecil bernama Al-Khanagah di Dolorossa. Ruangan yang dimilikinya luasnya hanya bisa menampung kurang dari 6 orang.Walaupun sebagai raja besar dan pemenang perang, Salahudin sangat menjunjung tinggi kesederhanaan dan menjauhi kemewahan serta korupsi.

Salahudin berhasil mempertahankan Yerussalem dari serangan musuh besarnya Richard The Lion Heart, Raja Inggris. Richard menyerang dan mengepung Yerussalem Desember 1191 dan Juli 1192. Namun penyerangan-penyerangannya dapat digagalkan oleh Salahudin. Kepada musuhnya pun Salahudin berlaku penuh murah hati. Saat Richard sakit dan terluka, Salahudin menghentikan pertempuran serta mengirimkan hadiah serta tim pengobatan kepada Richard. Richard pun kembali ke Inggris tanpa berhasil mengalahkan Salahudin.

Sepanjang sejarah Yerussalem sebagai kota suci bagi tiga agama, sejak ditaklukan Salahudin, Yerussalem belum pernah jatuh ketangan pihak lain. Baru setelah Perang Dunia I, Yerussalem jatuh ketangan Inggris yang kemudian diserahkan ke tangan Israel.

Semasa hidupnya Salahudin lebih banyak tinggal di barak militer bersama para prajuritnya dibandingkan hidup dalam lingkungan istana. Salahudin wafat 4 Maret 1193 di Damaskus. Para pengurus jenazah sempat terkaget-kaget karena ternyata Salahudin tidak memiliki harta. Ia hanya memiliki selembar kain kafan yang selalu di bawanya dalam setiap perjalanan dan uang senilai 66 dirham nasirian (mata uang Suriah waktu itu).

Sampai sekarang Salahudin Al-Ayubi tetap dikenang sebagai pahlawan besar yang penuh sikap murah hati.
