Taiwan: A People's History Season 1 Episode 2

Overview:
In 1624, with the tacit approval of the Xiamen general, the Dutch retreated from Penghu to Taiwan. Mainland Taiwan was not part of the Ming Dynasty at the time, so the Dutch landed again in Dayuan (near Anping, Tainan), beginning their 38-year rule. Dutch rule over Taiwan also caused concern among other powers. In May 1626, Spain dispatched troops through the waters off Sandiaojiao Bay on Taiwan's northeastern coast and held a conquest ceremony on Sheliao Island (now Heping Island). In 1628, they occupied Tamsui and built the Fort of Santo Domingo, attempting to consolidate Spanish power. It wasn't until 1642 that the Dutch replaced Spanish rule in northern Taiwan, ending Spain's sixteen-year rule. After this brief period of Dutch and Spanish rule, Taiwan began to develop island-wide interactions, leading to the emergence of the first Han Chinese regime, with the legendary Zheng Chenggong as a key figure.
