Japanese rule
日治時期可以說是在台灣被殖民時期中影響最大的一個時期,日治時期改善了台灣人民不好的習慣、改善了交通等等之類的,但除了好的以外當然也做了一些不好的事,例如強迫台灣人改姓、開採台灣很多的神木送回日本之類的事情。日本在殖民台灣的時候大致上可以分為無方針主義時期、無方針主義時期和皇民化時期這三個時期。無分針主義時期顧名思義是因為當日本剛開始殖民時,從南到北各地叛亂不停,而且日本甚至一度有意圖要放棄台灣並要將台灣以八十七萬美金賣給法國,一直到兒玉源太郎及後藤新平上任第四任台灣總督府之後,使用軟硬兼施的方式慢慢平定台灣,在這之後也陸續訂定了一些法律也包括了一些特權的法律。
日本殖民台灣的第二個時期是從西來庵事件之後開始的。西來庵事件是在無方針主義時期後期發生的,主事者余清芳本來是一位台灣的警察利用宗教來收取信徒,不久他的信徒人數越來越多但卻缺乏保密被日本總督府知道了,總督府開始逮捕所有信徒,抓了塊兩千多人並且有塊七百人被判死刑,這是台灣史上最大規模的抗日運動。在西來庵事件之後不久第一次世界大戰結束,世界對殖民地的價值觀改變也就因此日本對台灣的殖民也開始進入了內地延長主義時期。在內地延長主義時期日本將台灣變成是日本國土的延伸,開始加強對台灣的建設,在此同時西元1921年知識分子第一次向帝國議會提出了「台灣議會設置請願書」,在這之後一直到西元1934年一共提了15次都失敗,並且在第三次的時候,政府認為妨礙到治安及安寧於是發生了治警事件。在這期間西元1930年也發生了一起大規模的原住名武裝抗日事件「霧社事件」,事發是因為賽德克族受不了日本對原住民的壓迫,於是賽德克巴萊集結各部落反抗日本軍隊。
西元1937年起台灣正式進入皇民化時期。皇民化時期主要分為兩個時期,第一個時期可以說是內地延長主義時期的延伸,主旨是要加強人民對自己是日本人的意識,第二個時期是更加強調第一時期的觀念並且徹底實踐這些思想。除此之外也將台灣設為日本向南殖民的基地,但在不久之後第二次世界大戰就開打了。在日本參戰之後,日本不只在台灣徵招士兵也徵招了很多慰安婦。在西元1945年後,美國向日本兩顆原子彈日本宣布條件投降,並將臺灣及澎湖歸還給中華民國,結束了50年的日治時期。
The Japanese rule is the one influences Taiwan the most. During Japanese rule improved the bad habits of the people in Taiwan, the transportation, and so on, but they also did something bad, such as forcing Taiwanese people to surname, cut the big trees and sailed back to Japan. During Japanese rule, it can divided into three periods, No policy period, Mainland extensionism period and Imperialist policy period. The No policy period was named because when Japan began to colonize, rebellions everywhere, and even once that Japan almost use $ 870,000 USD to sell to France. Until kodama gentarō became the fourth president, and suppress all rebellions.
The second period of the Japanese colonial began after the biggest rebellion during Japanese rule. The rebellion is at the end of the No policy period. The principal use religion to receive believer and to resist the government. After the numbers of the believer grow up, Japanese government began to notice this problem. The government start to arrest the believers. They caught almost two thousand people and sentenced around 700 people to death. After the end of the World War I, the world changed the values of the colonies, and the Mainland extensionism period began. In the period, Japanese government saw Taiwan as the extension of Japanese territory. At the same time, in 1921, the intellectuals first proposed the "Taiwan Parliamentary Settlement Petition" to the Imperial Council. To the year 1934, they total proposed 15 times, but all failed. Besides,when the third time they proposed, the government thought they are going to rebellion, so police incident occurred. In 1930, also occurred a large anti-Japanese incident "Wushe incident.” The incident was due to the fact that the Saideks could not stand Japan's oppression of the aborigines anymore, so the tribes against the Japanese army.
In 1937, Taiwan officially entered the period of Imperialization policy period. The period of imperialization policy is divided into two part. The first part could be an extension of the Mainland extensionism period. The purpose of this part is to let people think they are Japanese. The second part is to fulfill the concept of the first part and set Taiwan as the base of colonize southward, but after a while World War II began. After Japan join the war, Japan not only enlisted Taiwanese men, but also women as comfort women. In 1945, after United States drop two atomic bombs at Japan, Japan surrendered, and because of this, Japan returned Taiwan and Penghu back to the Republic of China. 50 years of japanese ruled end.
