Taiwan
Taiwan has not always made Taiwan. The former name was namely Formosa. The Portuguese gave the island the name in the 16th century. The Dutch have even established in Formosa. The island also has a long history.
Former Taiwan
Although Taiwan just 160 kilometers from mainland China is, it's actually been almost colonized by the Chinese. The Dutch took an early foothold, which they ruled here for a long time. Before the arrival of the East India Company were mainly Malaysians who stayed on the island. They lived here from hunting and growing food. The locals gave the island the name Tapanga.
Formosa
The name Formosa originated in the 16th century. A Portuguese ship sailed at that time along the island then called Tapanga. He gave the island the name Ilha Formosa, which in Portuguese literally "beautiful island" is. However, he never went ashore. The Portuguese settled later on the island, in Keelung.
Formosa and the VOC
In 1624 the United East India Company finally managed to get land of China. This was something that they all tried since the beginning of the 17th century. After being expelled from the Pescadores archipelago, they tried it in August 1624 on the island of Formosa. They built here like a settlement and a fort, named Fort Zeelandia got. In 1627 it was ready. Remarkably, the Dutch took no possession of the island, but they worked with local chiefs. Fort Zeelandia was used as a warehouse for goods from Asia, but the Dutch also saw that the island had something to bring up. Were sugar and rice plantations in cooperation with the residents built. This was a great success, especially in the economic field. The number of Chinese who came to live under the control of VOC on the island grew and in 1650 to some 100,000.
The Spaniards attempted to conquer the island, but the VOC was able to drive them in 1642. The VOC invested plenty in infrastructure and agriculture on the island. However, problems arose because the Chinese farmers were squeezed by both Chinese and Dutch. It was this downhill in 1653, this due to the Qing dynasty on the mainland. The Dutch underestimated the military threat from mainland China, so the VOC was deposed in 1662. Then took place namely the surrender of Fort Zeelandia and put an end to the VOC establishment in the old Formosa.
Qing empire
Formosa was part of the Qing empire. This period was characterized by high population growth of agriculture and growth. It was increasingly cultivated, such as tea, peanuts and corn, and there was better farming equipment. The island has since the name Taiwan. Taiwan is a Chinese name would be roughly translated to "terrace corner 'stand, a name that refers to the bizarre and rough coast shape of the island.
