Qing Dynasty ruled Taiwan from 1683 to 1895. In 1683, an army led by Shi Lang, who served the Qing Dynasty, occupied Taiwan. This was the first time in history that China occupied Taiwan.
[edit] History
The early Qing Dynasty ruled Taiwan passively, because the Qing emperor Kangxi and lots of other government officials thought Taiwan was small and uncivilized. However, Shi Lang stated the importance of this island, and Taiwan was finally part of China. Taiwan was governed as part of Fujian province at the time. It became a province itself later. It was the first Chinese province to have electricity.
[edit] Rebellions
There were more than a hundred rebellions when Qing Dynasty ruled. The frequency of rebellions, riots, and civil strife in Qing Dynasty Taiwan is often encapsulated in the saying “every three years an uprising; every five years a rebellion”.
