Brief History of Taiwan
Taiwans earliest inhabitants were referred to as “aboriginals”, making up less than 400,000 of the countries population today. The majority of the population today migrated from China from the 12th century on. The greatest number of immigration occurred after 1661, when a trader by the name of Koxinga captured the island from the Dutch and Spanish colonists who had discovered this land around 50 years earlier. At that time, 100,000 Chinese followed Koxinga in hopes to escape Chinas Qing dynasty, however their freedom lasted only a short time as the Qing invaded and concord Taiwan in 1683.

For the next 200 years, Taiwan remained a backyard to the Chinese empire until it was declared a province in 1886. In 1895, nine years after being declared a province, it was conceded to Japan at the end of the Sino-Japanese war. The island remained under Japanese control until the end of the Second World War. In 1945 Taiwan was restored to Chinese command and the rule of the Kuomintag or other wise referred to as the KMT. The story of Taiwan between 1949 and 1980s was one of enormous economic growth. The KMT inherited the island after the Japanese had established Taiwans communication and transport networks and introduced education.

By the end of the 1980s, only a small number of Taiwans citizens (mostly elderly waishengren who migrated to the island in 1940) supported the policy of reclaiming the mainland of China. Another minority supported the establishment of an independent “Republic of Taiwan”. As where the majority of the population favored prosperity and democracy without prompting conflict with China and the Chinese empire. (The Economist Intelligence Unit Limited 2004)
