Taiwan? You mean China Formosa 😁

@@60zoneoneway My guy this guy is from TAIWAN he knows his own history, its just funny how a island in the middle of the South Chinese Sea claims the steppes of Mongolia

Taiwan is the name of the island as a whole, although the 'nation' of Taiwan is named as the Chinese Taipei in respect to the Chinese government, because there is no way Chinese Taipei could fight China for the mainland, but China could easily invade Taiwan in. A heartbeat. The 'nation' of Chinese Taipei also claims several islands around SE Asia. Taiwan is one of the islands claimed by Chinese Taipei, who happen to just name themselves after the main island of 'Taiwan'. Edit: By Chinese Taipei, I mean ROC, Republic of China. Chinese Taipei is the name that is used in agreement with PROC, (China) to refer to Taiwan as a nation without troubling or angering China.

Yea

Wonder what other case like this there's is in history?

@@lubu2960 Didn't the French government technically still control some territories after getting booted out of mainland France with their Vichy Government.

@@guppy719 No, I'm pretty sure France legit surrendered and was reformed into Vichi France. Free France was made up of people who didn't accept the surrender... which means they'd technically be French rebel forces.

@@lubu2960 In WW2, the Dutch government-in-exile still possessed Indonesia for like a year or so before Japan invaded.

Taiwan is historically Chinese territory. The earliest historical writings on the island is the year AD230 when the Wu Kingdom during the Sanguo era deployed 10k troops to Taiwan, the then-named Yizhou. Mid 12th-century, the Song Dynasty put Taiwan, which was part of the Penghu area back then, under the Fujian Province, which still exists today. From Song to Ming, Penghu had been consistently Chinese territory and it is during that time when the most native of Taiwanese which migrated there 7000 years ago were blended with the most advanced civilization of that time and became an undividable territory of China. Nearing the end of Ming and at the start of the 17th-century, the Netherlands invaded Taiwan when Ming was under war. Very soon the Spanish did too but they were kicked out by Netherland in 1642. Taiwan became colonised by the Netherlands. 1644, the Qing Dynasty was established. 1661 April, Zheng Chenggong under the title of General of South-Ming Dynasty, engaged in a war to take Taiwan back with 25k soldiers and a few hundred battleships. 1662 Feburary, Netherlands surrender. Zheng becomes a national hero. 1811, Taiwan population reached 1.9 mil, mostly immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong. Taiwan becomes an important argricultural area for Qing. It is also then Taiwan is completely de-westernised, unfortunately for the island, colonial powers will still step foot on it once again. 1884-1885, Sino-French War, France invades Taiwan. Head of Taiwan Liu Mingzhuan kicks the shit out of them. Unfortuantely China lost all other parts of the war and were forced to sign the Treaty of Tientsin, nevertheless, the French was forced out of Taiwan. After the Sino-French War, to strengthen Naval defence, Qing let Taiwan become the 20th province of China. Under Head of Taiwan Liu, it became one of the most powerful provinces then. 1894, Sino-Japanese War. The next year, Qing lost. 1895 April 17th, the Shimonoseki Treaty was signed, officially giving Taiwan up to the Japanese. Army General in Taiwan Liu Yongfu refuse to comply, fought for 5+ months, lost anyhow. Taiwan will be under Japanese colonial rule for 50+ years. 1937 July, the Japanese started the Double-Seven Incident, starting the 2nd wave of Sino-Japanese War. After 8 years, China wins and the Japanese surrender Taiwan. Taiwan has been Chinese territory ever since. The current valid dispute is whether Taiwan should be under the Republic of China or the People's Republic of China. It is important to note that both Chinas claim the entirely of China, both the mainland and Taiwan, with the RoC controlling Taiwan and the PRC controlling mainland. This is the One-China Policy. The current Taiwan separatists wants China divided, they want Taiwan to become on its own. This is against both RoC and PRC policy and the movement is made popular by the current incompetency of Kuomingtang as the DPP gets elected two terms in a row. So no, Taiwan is not part of the PRC. There is dispute on that issue. But it is definitely part of China, a united China. Be it RoC or PRC, Taiwan is and will always be Chinese. The Qing dynasty held on to Taiwan for about 200 years until it was colonized by Japan. Do I think Taiwan should be an independent state from this, no. The land should return to the original owner. Then after WW2 Taiwan was given back to China by the Allies. Afterwards the Communists and Nationalists had a civil war and the communists won and the nationalists (backed by the US) fled to Taiwan. Since the communists won that war they got ownership. It’s a Chinese civil war. The fought for the sovereignty of China. Which includes the territories of Taiwan. If they didn’t it’s essentially saying the US beat the confederacy yet the confederacy still gets to own Florida. It doesn’t make sense. Also, it would be dumb as hell if Taiwan ever became an independent country. The KMT doesn’t even want to be an independent country. They know their economy would collapse if they became separate from the mainland.

Bullshit. I'm a Taiwanese and the first thing Chiang Kai-shek did after retreating to Taiwan was to purge the local scholars and politicians. And then he built an authoritarian dynasty for almost 40 years, which ended with his son dying. I don't see how that is liberalizing in any ways.

@@xarpe3806 Would you prefer Chiang's government or Mao's government? Mao would purge more and would have killed far more people in Taiwan and today Taiwan would be in a worst situation under the Communist government. Chiang had to purge out the communist and left leaning elements in Taiwan in order to secure the future of ROC. Today the people in Taiwan is enjoying the fruits and labor of Chiang and the KMT and the mainlanders who came to Taiwan with them. And if you truly go back to study the history, you can see how Chiang planned to fully implement the Constitution and begin local election even before the end of the Civil War. The Nationalist government begin local elections in 1950 in Taiwan. Complete political liberalization would come later, but the country was heading in the right direction culturally and economically. Taiwan was in a stable situation and was able to develop for 40 years into a prosper country and then political liberalization would come. But political liberalization is not the only thing that mattered.

@@gsmiro "Today the people in Taiwan is enjoying the fruits and labor of Chiang and the KMT and the mainlanders who came to Taiwan with them" The current day Taiwanese independence party would strongly disagree with you on that. The local elections were all rigged and people with different ideological thinking were killed and prisoned during the 40 year period. You can't praise Chiang because of the liberalization that came because of the fighting of Taiwanese people 10 years after he died, that is ridiculous. As of the economical factors, that is just irrelevant in this political context

I had a DNA check, showing Norwegian DNA from my ancestors, who went first to Normandy France and then invaded England 1066. Modern research shows Scandinavian Viking migration occurred because of starvation, warfare and and a period of incredibly cold winters. So I think the Norwegian Government should send me a few million $ compensation for driving my family out of Norway over 1000 years ago. After all, doesn't my Norwegian DNA constitute Norwegian identity and therefore right to Norwegian land?

@@levoGAMES I'm sure they did claim Malta because they literally ruled it and didn't just give it up. Also a quick wikiped search mentions that they didn't accept an offer of the island of Gotland because it would mean renouncing their claim on Malta. Since we now know they definitely did claim it the only way to know if they renounced it is if you can find something saying they did.
