الملخص EN

The island of Taiwan has an important strategic location in the Far East.

It is one of the greatest naval bases in the Pacific Ocean.

Its location affects not only China and Japan, but also the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam and Indonesia.

From the port of Takao in southern Taiwan, the Philippines can be raided and the most important cities there are bombed.

As the port is only 580 miles away from the capital of the Philippines, Manila, and from the port of Namchoi in northern Taiwan, planes can raid and bombard Japan, which is away from that port (725 miles), and the same is the case with Vietnam and Malaysia, so whoever controls the island can threaten all The countries bordering the ocean, therefore, the European countries sought to impose their colonial control, and the first of these powers was Portugal, while the Netherlands occupied the island after it fought a violent conflict with China on the one hand and Spain on the other.

The indigenous people of Taiwan tried to deal with the Dutch on the basis of economic investment and mutual benefit, forgetting The colonial side of the Dutch colonialists who interfered in all .aspects of their private and public lives.
