Newsletter Unsubscribe Newsletter Archive - December 9, 2006 Taiwan History by Frank Vanderlugt The island of Taiwan, located off the coast of China, has long been an Asian trading hub. When Taiwan is mentioned, most westerners think only of the main island, but the term is also commonly used to refer to other small territories in the same area governed by China, such as Lanyu (Orchid Island), Green Island, the Pescadores, and Kinmen and Matsu Islands. The main island of Taiwan is sometimes still called Formosa, a Portuguese word meaning "beautiful." The Portuguese sighted the island in 1544, but never colonized it. There is evidence of human settlement on Taiwan dating back 30,000 years. However, the current "aboriginal" population consists of Malay and Polynesian descendants, whose language is classified by linguists as Austronesian. Han Chinese established a settlement in Penghu (the Pescadores) in the 1100s, but it was not until later that people other than aborigines began to live permanently on the main island of Taiwan.

The Soviet Union entered Eastern Europe. The United States returned to the Philippines. The United Kingdom re-colonized Malaysia. France re-occupied Vietnam. The Republic of China, also a member of the Allies, was entrusted with the governance of Taiwan. The Taiwanese holocaust of 1947 has come to be known as the "2-28 Massacre", or simply "2-28." In 1949, the Republic of China government took refuge in Taiwan after Chinese communists won the Chinese civil war. In the subsequent four decades, Taiwan was under Martial Law and the families of "2-28" victims were continuously harassed and discriminated by the self-imposed Chinese government. The Taiwanese were afraid of any discussion of "2-28" but the memory of "2-28" never died. With the recent democratization, the Taiwanese have gradually taken control of the government and in 1997, February 28 th became a national holiday for the country, ironically, called the Republic of China on Taiwan.

Claimed as a personal inspiration and political guide by the most bitterly opposed political parties, he is known to millions as "the Father of the Chinese Revolution." Yet his own life was a constant scramble for livelihood and influence, he spent much of his time in exile, and almost none of his cherished schemes came near to fruition. The twin strands of inspiration and failure define the relationship between his life and the history of his country. The contest for leadership of China after Sun Yat-sen's death had several contenders but one clear favorite: Chiang Kai-shek.

addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; addthis_pub = 'sdedaphne'; HOME Taiwan History Taiwan is an island off the southeast coast of China and is reputed to be the custodian and preserver of the world¡¯s oldest culture. Previously known as Formosa, the island was originally inhabited by mainland Chinese until the 17th century. It was then occupied by the Dutch and Spanish for about 40 years. In 1684, Taiwan was taken over by supporters of the deposed Ming Dynasty and was a tao (a sub-province or county) of the mainland province of Fukien across the Taiwan Straits. (The island¡¯s use as a refuge for deposed rulers from the mainland is a recurring feature of Taiwanese history.) In 1885, Taiwan was completely controlled by the Qing Dynasty and made into a province in its own right. A decade later, Chinese defeat in the first Sino-Japanese War brought the first occupations of Chinese territory by the Japanese. Taiwan was 'ceded in perpetuity' to Japan by Article 2 of the Treaty of Shimonoseki. Although it was fiercely resented and actively resisted by the population, Taiwan remained under Japanese rule from 1895 until its defeat at the end of World War II. Many in Taiwan believe that the two countries should be reunited but dispute the terms under which this should take place; the idea of a Hong Kong-type solution is given short shrift. But in the mid-1990s, a different option came under consideration for the first time ? full independence. This drew a furious reaction from Beijing but, inside Taiwan, it has attracted growing support. An important part of the reason has been the shift in Taiwanese domestic politics which began after the death of Chiang Ching-Kuo (Kai-Shek's son, president from 1978) in 1988. His Kuo Min-Tang successor, Lee Teng-Hui, took over as president. President Lee amended the original ROC constitution to consolidate representative democracy on the island. The KMT maintained control of the presidency and the national assembly throughout the 1990s, but its share of the vote inexorably declined.

Navigation introduction statistics economy history ... country memo Taiwan : History During the 18th and 19th centuries, migration from Fujian and Guangdong provinces steadily increased, and Chinese supplanted indigenous peoples as the dominant population group. In 1895, a weakened Imperial China ceded Taiwan to Japan in the Treaty of Shimonoseki following the first Sino-Japanese war. During its 50 years (1895-1945) of rule, Japan expended considerable effort in developing Taiwan's economy. At the same time, Japanese rule led to the "Japanization" of the island, including compulsory Japanese education and pressuring residents of Taiwan to adopt Japanese names. At the end of World War II in 1945, Taiwan reverted to Chinese rule. During the immediate postwar period, the Nationalist Chinese (KMT) administration on Taiwan was repressive and corrupt, leading to local discontent. Anti-mainlander violence flared on February 28, 1947, prompted by an incident in which a cigarette seller was injured and a passerby was shot to death by Nationalist authorities. The island-wide rioting was brutally put down by Nationalist Chinese troops, who killed thousands of people. As a result of the February 28 Incident, the native Taiwanese felt a deep-seated bitterness toward the mainlanders. For 50 years the KMT authorities suppressed accounts of this episode in Taiwan history. In 1995 a monument was dedicated to the victims of the "2-28 Incident," and for the first time, Taiwan's leader, President Lee Teng-hui, publicly apologized for the Nationalists' brutality.

However, basing on the infrastructure left behind by Japanese, a strong agriculture foundation and the capital assistance gathered from the United States, Taiwanese remarkably developed the pre-condition for economic takeoff. They successfully managed agriculture to provide a considerable net capital flow to non-agriculture. Consequently, Taiwan moved from an agriculture-based economy in the late forties and fifties to a semi-industrialized one by the early seventies, and is presently reaching the stage of a full-fledged industrialization.

History of Taiwan Site Links Home Search this Site History Posters Africa ... Privacy Policy Taiwan's aboriginal peoples, who originated in Austronesia and southern China, have lived on Taiwan for 12,000 to 15,000 years. Significant migration to Taiwan from the Chinese mainland began as early as A.D. 500. Dutch traders first claimed the island in 1624 as a base for Dutch commerce with Japan and the China coast. Two years later, the Spanish established a settlement on the northwest coast of Taiwan which they occupied until 1642 when they were driven out by the Dutch. Dutch colonists administered the island and its predominantly aboriginal population until 1661. The first major influx of migrants from the Chinese mainland came during the Dutch period, sparked by the political and economic chaos on the China coast during the Manchu invasion and the end of the Ming Dynasty. In 1664, a Chinese fleet led by the Ming loyalist Cheng Ch'eng-kung (Zheng Chenggong, known in the West as Koxinga) retreated from the mainland and occupied Taiwan. Cheng expelled the Dutch and established Taiwan as a base in his attempt to restore the Ming Dynasty. He died shortly thereafter, and in 1683 his successors submitted to Manchu (Qing Dynasty) control. From 1680 the Qing Dynasty ruled Taiwan as a prefecture and in 1875 divided the island into two prefectures, north and south. In 1887 the island was made into a separate Chinese province. During the 18th and 19th centuries, migration from Fujian and Guangdong provinces steadily increased, and Chinese supplanted aborigines as the dominant population group. In 1895, a weakened Imperial China ceded Taiwan to Japan in the Treaty of Shimonoseki following the first Sino-Japanese war.
