Taiwan under Japanese rule

The Japanese Empire used to control Taiwan from 1895 - 1945. This is because the Qing Dynasty of China lost the First Sino-Japanese War and agreed to give Taiwan to Japan in the Treaty of Shimonoseki.

Taiwan was Japan's first colony. The Japanese empire monopolized most of the industries of Taiwan.

After Japan surrendered in September 1945 during the Second Sino-Japanese War (World War II), the Republic of China (ROC) took control of Taiwan.
