How many years did the Dutch rule Taiwan?

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Taiwan was in the initial stage of development and cultivation by a large number of immigrants from the mainland. Productivity was low, the economy was backward, and life was poor. In addition, the Ming Dynasty government was corrupt and incompetent, and peasant uprisings continued. As it was too overwhelmed to take care of itself, it was unable to defend and manage Taiwan. As a result, the Japanese, Dutch, and Spanish colonial forces coveted Taiwan's deerskin and other trade and continued to invade Taiwan. Taiwan's aboriginal people and new immigrants from the mainland fought repeatedly and resolutely against several foreign forces, but the weak were unable to defeat the strong, which resulted in the Dutch and Spanish gaining temporary control over Taiwan. The Dutch ruled Taiwan for 37 years from 1624 to 1661. The Spanish ruled Taiwan for 16 years from 1626 to 1642. Neither the Netherlands nor Spain could control the entire territory of Taiwan. They only controlled some cities and villages with relatively developed commerce and trade in a pirate-style way.
