The Sultanate of Sulu (Tagalog: Kesultanan Sulu; Tausūg: Kasultanan sin Sūg, Malay [Jawi script]: کسلطانن سولو دار الإسلام, Malay: Kesultanan Sulu, Arabic: سلطنة سولك‎) was founded in 1407, gaining independence from the Bruneian Empire (Indonesian: Empayar Brunei; Malay [Jawi script]: إمبراطورية بروناي ; also known as the Sultanate of Brunei) in 1578. It relinquished civil authority from 1915 to 1962 to a succession of Western colonial powers including Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. It civil authority was restored in 1962, when the Philippines recognised its existence. In 1986, it was dissolved by the Philippines. Ownership of the territory, in 2019, is disputed by Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
