For 400 years, Taiwanese have been subject to foreign colonizers -- first the Dutch and Spanish, then the Manchu Empire, then the Japanese empire and finally the "Republic of China" KMT Chinese Nationalist Regime of Chiang Kai-shek and his son. In particular the last 100 years of first Japanese then KMT rule were brutal in attempted obliteration of Taiwan's Identity. Herein is chronicled the fight for its recovery.

Photos of Historic Taiwan
Historic photographs along with a theme song from the I-Lan International Children's Folklore and Folkgame Festival. The KMT county magistrate discontinued the festival (inventing a lackluster "Rain" festival in 2009 when there was large objection to the loss of the international festival) but now that the new magistrate is from the DPP maybe they will start it back again.
