What is the beginning of Taiwan's history?

The written history of Taiwan Province can be traced back to 23 AD. At that time, Sun Quan, the prince of Wu of the Three Kingdoms, sent 1, officers and men to Yizhou (Taiwan Province), and Kuloko Shen's "Coastal Soil and Water Records" left the earliest account of Taiwan Province in the world. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties (589-618 AD), Taiwan Province was called "Liu Qiu". The Sui Dynasty had been a teacher in Taiwan Province for three times. According to historical records, in 61 (the sixth year of Sui Daye), the Han people began to move to Penghu. By the Song and Yuan Dynasties (96-1368 AD), there were a considerable number of Han people in Penghu area. After the Han people opened up Penghu, they began to develop in Taiwan Province, bringing with them the advanced production technology at that time. In the middle of the 12th century, the Song Dynasty placed Penghu under the jurisdiction of Jinjiang County, Quanzhou, Fujian Province, and sent troops to guard it. The Yuan Dynasty also sent troops to Taiwan Province. The Yuan and Ming governments set up a patrol and inspection department in Penghu, which was responsible for patrolling and arresting criminals, and also held a salt class. In the late Ming dynasty, the scale of development became larger and larger. In the era of war and famine, the Fujian authorities of the Ming government and Zheng Zhilong Group once immigrated to Taiwan Province in an organized way.

in the 16th century, the western colonial forces such as Spain and Holland developed rapidly and began to extend their tentacles to the east. At the beginning of the 17th century, the Dutch colonist

Zheng successfully recovered Taiwan Province and invaded Taiwan Province when the Ming government was in a difficult situation due to the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty and the increasingly powerful Manchu forces in Northeast China. Soon, the Spanish occupied some areas in northern and eastern Taiwan Province, and were driven away by the Dutch in 1642. Taiwan Province became a Dutch colony. Dutch colonialists enforced compulsory rule, appropriated land for themselves, forced people to pay various taxes, plundered rice and sugar in Taiwan Province, and re-exported the raw silk, sugar and porcelain they bought from China to other countries through Taiwan Province, thus reaping high profits. The rule of Dutch colonists aroused the resistance of the people of Taiwan Province. In September 1652, Guo Huaiyi, a peasant leader, led a large-scale armed uprising. Although the armed uprising was suppressed, it showed that the Dutch colonial rule had been in crisis.

during Zheng's reign

in p>1644, the Qing army entered Shanhaiguan and established the Qing regime in Beijing. In April 1661, Zheng Chenggong enlisted the name of a general in the Southern Ming Dynasty, led 25, soldiers and hundreds of warships, and marched into Taiwan Province from Kinmen. When Zheng Chenggong marched into Taiwan Province, he told Dutch colonialists that Taiwan Province "has always belonged to China", and that the residents of the two islands, Taiwan Province and Penghu, are China people who have occupied and cultivated this land since ancient times, and that the Netherlands "should return it to its original owners." After fierce fighting and siege, in February 1662, Zheng Chenggong forced Dutch Governor Yi Yi to sign and surrender. Zheng Chenggong recovered China territory Taiwan Province from Dutch colonists and became a great national hero, which was admired by the broad masses of people.

during the reign of the Qing government

in p>1684, the Qing government set up a patrol patrol road at Taixia and Taifu, which belonged to Fujian province. By 1811, the population of Taiwan had reached 1.9 million, most of whom were immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong. Immigrants reclaimed wasteland in large quantities, which made Taiwan Province a new agricultural region, and provided a large amount of rice and sucrose, daily consumer goods and building materials imported from the mainland, which made Taiwan Province's economy develop to a considerable extent. During this period, Taiwan Province had close contacts with Fujian and Guangdong, and Chinese culture was introduced into Taiwan Province more comprehensively.

As the western powers invaded and forced China's frontier, there was a frontier crisis in China. During the Sino-French War of 1884-1885, the French army attacked Taiwan Province, which was badly hit by Liu Mingchuan's army. By the signing of the Sino-French New Testament in June 1885, the French army was forced to withdraw from Taiwan Province.

after the sino-French war, in order to strengthen coastal defense, the Qing government designated Taiwan Province as a single province in 1885, and Taiwan Province became the 2th province in China. Liu Mingchuan, the first governor of Taiwan Province Province, actively carried out the new policy of self-improvement, cleaned up land tax, increased fiscal revenue, bought ships, set up telegraph lines, set up the General Administration of Posts and Telecommunications and built railways; Buy warships, add batteries, and set up machinery bureaus to make their own weapons; Set up coal bureau and install new coal mining machines; Set up a company to promote the city, build streets and roads; Establish western schools and telegraph schools to train construction talents. Liu Mingchuan concentrated many new businesses in one province, making Taiwan Province one of the advanced provinces in China at that time.

During Japanese rule

In 1894, Japan launched the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, and the Qing government was defeated the following year. On April 17th, it was forced to sign the treaty of shimonoseki, which humiliated the country and ceded Taiwan Province to Japan. After the news came out, the whole country was angry and opposed to cutting the table; Taiwan Province province "cries loudly", gong strike. Liu Yongfu, the general of the Qing army who assisted Taiwan Province in military affairs, led the soldiers and civilians to resist Japanese occupation, and persisted in fighting for more than five months. After more than a hundred battles, the Japanese invaders paid a heavy price, but they eventually failed. Since then, Taiwan Province has been a Japanese colony for 5 years.

The people of Taiwan Province never gave in to Japanese colonial rule. In the early days of Japanese occupation, anti-Japanese armed forces with peasants as the main body fought for 2 years. Later, the Cultural Association, People's Party and Producer Party also organized and led the national resistance movement against Japanese colonial rule.

To celebrate the recovery of Taiwan. In July 1937, the Japanese-made "July 7th Incident", and the people of China started the national War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, many Taiwan Province compatriots returned to the motherland to participate in the Anti-Japanese War, which contributed to the victory of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the recovery of Taiwan Province. After the outbreak of the Pacific War in December 1941, on December 9, the Japanese government issued the "Announcement of China's Declaration of War against Japan", clearly telling China and foreign countries: "All treaties, agreements and contracts involving the relationship between China and China will be abolished."

Return of sovereignty

In August p>1945, Japan was defeated in World War II, and announced its unconditional surrender on August 15th. After eight years of heroic War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the people of China finally recovered Taiwan Province. Taiwan Province compatriots celebrated their return to the motherland with great joy. On October 25th, the surrender ceremony of Taiwan Province Province in China War Zone was held in Taibei. On behalf of the China government, the surrendered officials announced that Taiwan Province and Penghu Islands have officially re-entered Chinese territory from now on, and all land, people and political affairs have been placed under China's sovereignty. At this point, Taiwan Province and Penghu are under the sovereignty of China.
