Chen Shichang

158K0

After the end of World War II in 1945, in the world situation where the United States and the Soviet Union were competing for hegemony, the United States handed over Taiwan, which had been recaptured from Japanese rule, to Chiang Kai-shek. This opened a new page for postwar Taiwan... Under the strategic layout of the United States, as soon as the Taiwanese people broke away from "imperialization", they immediately became the hub of the "Western Pacific Defense Line" to prevent the communist forces from crossing over. Taiwan borders the Aleutian Islands, Japan, South Korea, and the Ryukyu Islands to the north, and borders the Philippines, New Zealand, and Australia to the south. The United States and the Soviet Union are competing externally, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are fighting against each other internally... Against this background, the Taiwanese people have experienced major events such as the February 28 Incident, martial law, newspaper bans, party bans, white terror, the rule of the two Chiang Kai-sheks, the Ten Major Construction Projects, the Joint Recruitment, the Ten Thousand Years Congress, the Formosa Incident, and the Wild Lily Student Movement. After experiencing various social movements and struggles, they finally moved towards democracy.
