Taiwan (Formosa) is the principal island in the Republic of China. The island
was under Japanese control from 1895 until the end of World War 2 in 1945
when the island reverted to China. Our postcards all date from before WW2
and thus from the period of Japanese rule. Since WW2 Taiwan has been
under the ROC whose forces under Chiang Kai-shek were defeated by the
Communists and retreated to the island. Naturally Taiwan is still claimed by
the Peoples' Republic of China
