Successor sultanate to Malacca, founded 1528, that controlled the southern Malay Peninsula and Riau Islands; split by Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824 into British Johor and Dutch Riau.
The historical Johor Sultanate as a sovereign polity was partitioned by the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824, which divided the Johor-Riau-Lingga realm between British (Johor peninsula, Singapore) and Dutch (Riau-Lingga) spheres, ending its unified sovereignty; a ceremonial sultanate continues within Malaysia today but is not an independent state.
