Dutch colonial rule of Taiwan : ウィキペディア英語版 | Dutch colonial rule of Taiwan
Dutch colonial rule lasted in Taiwan from 1642 to 1662. ==An overview of life in Taiwan under Dutch rule== At the time of Dutch settlement in Taiwan, the northern part of the island was still occupied by Spanish who had landed there in 1626. However, they showed no signs of expanding their settlement and in 1642 the Dutch drove them out. As Tu Cheng-sheng states, there were three main reasons for the Dutch colonisation of Taiwan: “to ensure the security of the Philippines, to protect trade with China, and to prevent the Japanese from occupying the island”.〔Tu Cheng-Sheng, (2003) Ilha Formosa: The Emergence of Taiwan on the World Scene in the 17th Century, Hwang Chao-sung, Taipei, 32〕 Taiwan was in a perfect place strategically to engage in trade within the region. The Chinese had refused to allow the Dutch to settle on the Chinese territory of Penghu, and suggested they settle on Taiwan instead. The subsequent settlement of the island was reflective of the strategic value of Taiwan. The settlement was systematic and planned,〔Tu Cheng-Sheng, (2003) Ilha Formosa: The Emergence of Taiwan on the World Scene in the 17th Century, Hwang Chao-sung, Taipei, 30.〕 as the construction of the military stronghold of Castle Zeelandia demonstrated. The settlers were clearly aiming to protect their good position to engage in trade in the long-term, and to establish themselves as the administrators of Taiwan.
