=== Anak Krakatau ===
{{Main|Anak Krakatoa}}

Verbeek, in his report on the eruption, predicted that any new activity would manifest itself in the region which had been between Perboewatan and Danan. This prediction came true on 29 December 1927, when a submarine [[lava dome]] in the area of Perboewatan showed evidence of eruptions (an earlier event in the same area had been reported in June 1927). A new island volcano rose above the waterline a few days later. The eruptions were initially of pumice and ash, and that island and the two islands that followed were quickly eroded away by the sea. Eventually, a fourth island, named Anak Krakatau (meaning "child of Krakatoa" in Indonesian), broke water in August 1930 and produced lava flows more quickly than the waves could erode them.

On October 2, 1883, five weeks after the eruption, a Dutch soldier was repeatedly stabbed by a bearded, white-robed man while paying for tobacco in the small town of [[Serang]]. The would-be assassin was never captured, but a similarly-dressed man attacked a sentry at the garrison six weeks later, blaming the Dutch for bringing divine vengeance upon the area. The "extreme religious zeal" noted by the man's interrogators seen as widespread, and historians suggest it was exploited by rising Muslim conservatives and [[Decolonization|anticolonial]] leaders (such as [[Abdul Karim Amrullah]]) to foment the [[Banten Peasant's Revolt]] in 1888, and to prey upon the Dutch conscience made uneasy by ''[[Max Havelaar]]'' and subsequent revelations of abuses.<ref name="Kartodirjo 1966">{{cite book |last=Kartodirjo |first=Sartono |title=The peasants' revolt of Banten in 1888 : its conditions, course and sequel.

The explosion was the first natural disaster in history whose effects were definitively felt worldwide and whose cause was known, following the development of [[Submarine communications cable|transoceanic communication cables]]. Winchester suggests the disaster marks the birth of an era of global awareness.<ref>Winchester, 2003. Chap 6.</ref>
