The video discusses Taiwan's historical context, starting from its status as a Chinese territory until Japan seized it in 1895. It covers the Cairo Declaration and Potsdam Proclamation, which demanded Japan return stolen territories, including Taiwan. The founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 and the Kuomintang's retreat to Taiwan are highlighted.
