Who is Taiwan from?
Taiwan, a. C. Year 323. A Chinese expedition explored the island and was first recorded in the Chinese archives in Taiwa. But for centuries there were no notable changes in the native population of the island; although the oldest human remains on the island were at least 20,000 years ago, the Austrian peasants occupied 6,000 years ago.
Population change came in the 17th century, along with Europeans. The Portuguese called him Formosa, the Spaniards established several colonies in the north of the island and was in the hands of the Dutch between 1624 and 1662. The Chinese then expelled Europeans from Taiwan. And when in 1683 the Qing Dynasty dominated the Ming Dynasty, Taiwan was officially in the hands of China. In this process, fleeing from the political upheaval and economic shortage of mainland China, Chinese waves traveled to Taiwan, where the Austrian population almost disappeared. They were mainly the Hoklos of the province of Fujian and the Hurricanes of Guangzhou; most of the current inhabitants of Taiwan are heirs to both migratory waves.
U.S. President Truman decided to move the seventh fleet to the Taiwan Strait to avoid the conflict between mainland China and Taiwan in theory. In practice, the intervention did not interrupt the civil war.
In 1895, after China lost the first Franco-Japanese war, the island remained in the hands of the Japanese. But at the end of the Second World War he returned to China, where the Chinese Republic, founded in 1912, was part of the allies and, therefore, had the approval of the United States. But a few years later, in 1949, communist forces led by Mao Zedong dominated the government of Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang and his followers took refuge in Taiwan and established on the island the continuation of the Chinese Republic, the dictatorship.
The People ' s Republic of China continued to claim the island and the president of EE.UU. Truman decided to move the seventh fleet to the Taiwan Strait to avoid the conflict between mainland China and Taiwan in theory. In practice, the intervention did not interrupt the civil war and, among other things, promoted the White Panic: The Taiwan Government imprisoned and murdered 140,000 people accused of being communist.
The results of the elections in Taiwan this century have influenced the Txina-Taiwan affair. The elections two weeks ago were won by the PPD party opposing the merger with China. Promising that candidate Lai Ching-te will work for independence, the tension with the Chinese Government increases with the threat of military intervention.
Although there is no formal pact between Taiwan and EE.UU, and although it has officially been said that it is not in favour of Taiwan’s independence, the Washington government has announced that it will leave defensive weapons to Taiwan. Joe Bide's President said the commitment to EE.UU. with Taiwan is “as firm as the stone”, although in the last 80 years the attitude towards the island has been adapted to its taste, contrary to contradictions.
