Colonization of Taiwan - Stuff That I Find Interesting

The video discusses the colonization of Taiwan by the Spanish and Dutch in the 17th century. The Spanish were expelled by the Dutch, who established a profitable colony through sugar cane and silk trade. The Dutch faced resistance from natives and Chinese immigrants. The Kingdom of Middag, a native state, was formed but later crushed by the Dutch. The Kingdom of Tungning was established by a Ming general fleeing the Qing Dynasty, leading to increased Chinese settlement. This paved the way for the Sinicization of Taiwan, although native traditions persisted until the 20th century.
