This concise account of Taiwan's history makes a cogent, compelling argument for the right of the Taiwanese people to declare their nation independent, if they so choose. Davison's bold stand—unprecedented from a Western author—challenges the one China notion advanced in the Shanghai Communique of 1972 and states unequivocally that, should independence be proclaimed, it could only be taken away by force if the international community sides with contemporary might over historical right. He argues that the possible conflict could be sufficiently incendiary to induce a major military clash between the United States, the People's Republic of China, and other major powers. Davison lets the facts of Taiwanese history make the case for Taiwan's existence as a unique national entity. A historical overview details the circumstances under which the Qing dynasty made its 17th century claim on the island, the events that led to cession to Japan in 1895, the origins of the Guomindang occupation during the Chinese Civil War, and the dramatic election of March 2000 that brought the Democratic Progressive Party's Chen Shuibian to office, ending Guomindang domination. After centuries of outsider domination, and over a hundred years of disconnection from any government exercising power over all of mainland China, the Taiwanese people are in a position to make a decision for national independence based on solid historical evidence.

The island of Taiwan has been inhabited by humans for tens of thousands of years, with archaeological evidence of an agricultural society emerging around 3000 BC, likely reflecting the arrival of Taiwan's indigenous peoples' ancestors. Contact between the Chinese and Taiwan began in the late 13th to early 17th centuries, followed by waves of migration from mainland China, especially Hoklo settlers from Fujian and Guangdong provinces crossing the Taiwan Strait. In the 17th century, the Dutch colonized Taiwan but were soon challenged by the Spanish in the north. The Dutch expelled the Spanish in 1642, only to lose control themselves when Ming loyalist Koxinga defeated them in 1662 and established a base on the island. After the Qing dynasty defeated Koxinga's forces in 1683, Taiwan was increasingly absorbed into the Qing Empire. After losing the First Sino-Japanese War in 1895, the Qing ceded Taiwan and the Penghu islands to the Japanese Empire. Under Japanese rule, Taiwan produced rice and sugar and served as a staging ground for Japan's invasion of Southeast Asia and the Pacific in WWII. The Japanese instituted their school system in Taiwan and many Taiwanese soldiers fought for Japan.

For over 400 years, Taiwan has suffered at the hands of multiple colonial powers, but it has now entered the decade when its independence will be won or lost. At the heart of Taiwan's story is the curse of geography that placed the island on the strategic cusp between the Far East and Southeast Asia and made it the guardian of some of the world's most lucrative trade routes. It is the story of the dogged determination of a courageous people to overcome every obstacle thrown in their path. Forbidden Nation tells the dramatic story of the island, its people, and what brought them to this moment when their future will be decided.

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.
