Ep. 311 | The History of Taiwan (Part 2)
The China History Podcast
The Dutch East India Company in Taiwan

After intense fighting that lasted into July 1624, the Qingbak forces defeated the Dutch on Punghu and forced them to vacate. Part of the shakeout from all this was that the Dutch were given the okay to settle on Taiwan and to carry out trade with China.

The fort became a symbol of this period when the Dutch East India Company dominated the history and destiny of Taiwan.
