If you want to discover the captivating history of Taiwan, then pay attention.... The history of Taiwan is astonishing. Politically, Taiwan - was a warlord culture. The Portuguese, when passing by the island in the mid-1540s, called the island “Ilha Formosa,” which means “Beautiful Island”. Then the Dutch came in the 1620s, searching for a base of operations for the Dutch East India Company. Then the Han Chinese came in the 17th century. Many of these Han Chinese were refugees from the wars in China. This influx caused an explosive reaction.

Narrator lacked proper pronunciation
Revisado: 01-22-22
Great overview of the history of Taiwan however the narrator mispronounced so many words that it was very distracting. Qing dynasty, Chinese Hakka we’re just a couple examples of the many words he mispronounced over and over and over again.

This has been my favorite book this year. I couldn’t wait to listen each day. Fantastic. It took me a few chapters to get into it but once I got in I was captivated.
