Brief History Geography and Climate Natural Resources Population ... Brief History In 1895, China was forced by military defeat to cede Taiwan to Japan. In 1945, however, it reverted to Chinese control after the Japan was defeated. When the Communists came to power on the mainland in 1949, 2 million Nationalists fled to Taiwan and established a government that gradually democratised and incorporated native Taiwanese within its structure. In March 2000, the Nationalists were defeated in a popular election by the Democratic People's Party (the first non-violent change in rule in 5000 years of Chinese history), and Taiwan is now lead by Chen Shuibian. Since 1945, the island has prospered as one of East Asia's economic miracles, but the relationship between Taiwan and Mainland China and the question of eventual reunification is still the most pressing issue in Taiwan today.

    Extractions: 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. Among the regions they took control of was Taiwan. 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. The Chinese Civil War, which had already been in progress for some years, came to a head in 1948. The nationalist forces of Chiang Kai-Shek were defeated by Mao’s Communists, and the nationalist leadership, along with thousands of supporters, fled to Taiwan. Here, their political vehicle, the Kuo Min-Tang (KMT) rapidly came to dominate Taiwanese politics – having ensured its own survival, the KMT then set about developing the economy. In this, the KMT regime was spectacularly successful and Taiwan has been one of the fast-developing ‘tiger economies’ of the Pacific Rim (see

    Extractions: It has been estimated that people inhabited Taiwan 5000 years ago. The earliest inhabitants migrated from the Pacific islands. Linguistically, they are Indonesians. The early inhabitants lived a communal life in the wildness. Their descendants, called aborigines these days, suffered from the Chinese arrivals. There were two groups of aborigines in Taiwan when the Chinese first arrived on this small island. One lived on the rich plains of western Taiwan, and the other lived in the mountains. Chinese immigrants occupied the rich plains and forced the aborigines into the remote mountain area. Those who were not driven into the mountain area assimilated into the rocky east coast. Many of them lived in slums and were forced into menial jobs in industry, mining, fishing or, prostituting by ancestors of the Taiwanese Han people. Beginning in the 1400s, large numbers of Chinese from the Fujian province migrated to Taiwan. Their Fujianese dialect is today's Taiwanese. The Fujianese is the keenest traveler of the Chinese. They can be found all over South-East Asia. Hakkas, coming from the Henen province in northern China, first moved to the Guangdong and Fujian provinces in the south and gradually migrated to Taiwan along with the Fujianese. Hakka means "guest" only their language distinguishes them from the Fujianese. Portuguese sailors landed at Taiwan in 1517. They were so impressed by the island's beautiful scenery that they call it "Formosa," which means "Beautiful Island." The name "Formosa" had been used for a long time.

However, the island fell to the Manchus in 1683. Chinese immigration increased, and the aboriginal population was gradually pushed into the interior. Japan, attracted by the island's strategic and economic importance, acquired Taiwan by the Treaty of Shimonoseki (1895) after the First Sino-Japanese War . Japan exploited the island for the benefit of the Japanese home economy and tried to establish Japanese as the language of the island. The island was scarcely used, however, for Japanese colonization. Under Japan, Taiwan's economy was modernized and industrialized, railroads were built, and the large cities expanded. During World War II, Taiwan was heavily bombed by U.S. planes. In accordance with the Cairo declaration of 1943 and the Potsdam Conference of 1945, Taiwan was returned to China as a province after the war.

    Extractions: China Daily ... about me Taiwan Under the Dutch (1624 - 1662) Taiwan's experiences at thehands of the Western imperialists did not really begin until after Portuguese navigators discovered the island and named it Ilha Formosa ('beautiful island') in 1590. While the Portuguese were the first Westerners to sight and name the island, they did not, however, attempt colonisation. It was the Dutch who decided to colonise Taiwan and make it a part of their empire in Southeast Asia. In 1595, a Dutch merchant named Cornelius Houtman formed the Dutch East India Company that was based in Batavia (today's Jakarta) on the island of Java in the Spice Islands (Indonesia). The Dutch East India Company eventually annexed the whole of the Southeast Asian archipelago, and the Spice Islands became known as the Dutch East Indies. The Dutch were not only primarily interested in the profits that could be made from trading spices like cinnamon, cloves, pepper and nutmeg, but were also eager to trade with the Chinese. However, continually frustrated by Chinese refusals to allow the establishment of a Dutch trading post on its territory, Dutch forces wrested the Pescadores - a small group of islands just of the west coast of Taiwan - from the Chinese in 1622 and established a military base. From the Pescadores, they threatened China with further reprisals unless given a trading post, and harassed the already profitable Portuguese trade with Japan, China and the Philippines. The Dutch also lay further claim to Taiwan by establishing a small settlement on the island of Taoyuan, just off the south coast of Taiwan.

Location Taiwan is an island in the Pacific Ocean approximately 150 km (100 miles) off the coast of Fujian Province in mainland China. Description Taiwan is about two-thirds mountains, with only about 20 percent of the land consisting of plains. The climate, which straddles the tropical and subtropical zones, has been described as "hot, rainy and windy". Population 22.03 million people live in Taiwan (1999 estimate). More than 97 percent of the inhabitants of Taiwan are Han Chinese, most of whom are descendants of immigrants from Fujian Province. About 389,974 people (1997 estimate) are classified as belonging to the island's aboriginal tribes. Language Although Mandarin is the official spoken language of the Republic of China, a dialect of Min Chinese (similar to South Fukienese of Fujian Province) is widely spoken. Other languages such as Hakka and the aboriginal tongues are becoming less commonly used. See

Seen today as indigenous people, they came to Taiwan no later than 1,000 C.E. Visiting in 1590, Portuguese sailors called Taiwan Ilha Formosa It means "Beautiful Island."

    Extractions: In the wake of "China coming to Taiwan", Han Chinese brought with them to Taiwan the characteristics of traditional Chinese society, and created the phenomenon in Taiwanese history of frequent popular uprisings. these frequent popular uprisings also demonstrate that Taiwanese society had been unstable for a long time. This happened because there was no way to promote public authority, and consequently, the general population had to fend for themselves; most of the time, Taiwanese society was ruled by a government from overseas, and this political power changed frequently, so it was impossible to satisfy the practical needs of the local inhabitants. Different ethnic groups on the island often had to face intense competition for survival. This week, we have invited Professor April C. J. Lin from the department of history at Tamkang University to tell us about incidents of popular rebellion through Taiwan's 400 years and more of history, and the reasons behind them. Frequent popular uprisings In the past, most people have had a stereotyped image of Taiwan's history, which is "frequent popular uprisings." During the 212 years of Qing dynasty rule in Taiwan alone, there were over 100 incidents of large and small popular uprisings revolting against local government offices, and if we add to this the persistent armed fighting between different ethnic groups, we can see that the old saying, "a little uprising every three years, major unrest every five years," was certainly based in fact. However, this wasn't traditionally characteristic of Taiwanese society; rather, following the arrival of "China in Taiwan," Han Chinese brought the characteristics of their traditional Chinese society with them when they moved to the island of Taiwan. During Taiwan's four hundred years and more of history, popular uprisings can be roughly divided into four main types, taking 1915 as a dividing line.

    Extractions: Earthquakes symbolize a kind of dialogue between man and earth, and in Taiwan's history there has been a continual contact sustained to different extents with the inhabitants of this land and their rulers. This week's Window on Taiwan is written by Lee Tai-Han, graduate student in history at National Central University. Lee takes a look at the repeated earthquakes in Taiwan's history. The huge 921 earthquake ¤E¤G¤@¶°¶°¤j¦a¾_ The "adobe earthquake" If we look back in time to the Japanese occupation, the earthquake which caused the greatest loss of life occurred on April 21, 1935, on the fortieth anniversary of Japanese rule in Taiwan. At 6:02:16 a.m. a violent earthquake inflicted heavy losses on the two prefectures, as they then were, of Hsinchu and Taichung. It measured 7.1 on the Richter scale and killed 3,422 people. Another 11,833 were injured, and over 60,000 homes were destroyed. The reason why this earthquake inflicted so serious a loss of life was closely connected to the fact that many Taiwanese people built their homes out of adobe. The thick adobes softened and crumbled when soaked through with rain water, and not only could it not stand up to earthquakes, it actually intensified the effects of the disaster, which is why contemporary Japanese scholar Sano Liki called this earthquake "the adobe earthquake."

    Extractions: On the evening of February 27 certain armed Monopoly Bureau Agents and special police agents set upon and beat a female cigarette vendor, who with her two small children, had protested the seizure of her cash as well as her allegedly untaxed cigarettes. She is reported to have died soon after the agents, who shot at random, killing one person before they escaped into a civil police station. Their Monopoly truck and its contents were burned in the street, although the agents were allowed to be taken away, on foot and unmolested, from the police station by military police called for that purpose. (On February 28)...The parade, meanwhile, left the Monopoly Bureau for the Governor's office where it was intended to present the petition for reform. At about two o'clock it reached a wide intersection adjacent to the government grounds. Without warning a machine gun mounted somewhere on the government building opened fire, swept and dispersed the crowd and killed at least four. Two consular officers drove through the square immediately after the shots were fired. Two of the dead were picked up a few minutes later by an UNRRA officer.
