      The island of Taiwan, on which the Republic of Formosa was established in 1895. The Republic of Formosa was a short-lived republic that existed on the island of Taiwan in 1895 between the formal cession of Taiwan by the Qing dynasty of China to the Empire of Japan by the Treaty of Shimonoseki and its being taken over by Japanese troops.
      Although Taiwan is still sometimes referred to as Formosa, and has been for centuries, it was only known as the Republic of Formosa for five short months. And even then, it wasn’t officially recognized by any foreign governments, which is probably why very few people know of its existence.
      The Republic of Formosa had lasted only five months, most of which had been spent at war with the Japanese. The collapse of the Republic led to five decades of Japanese occupation, which would end with the surrender of power after their defeat in World War II.
      On the west coast, the island is flat, with shallow anchorages and dune-covered beaches. The land rises gradually to the east, where a series of parallel mountain ranges intersect Formosa from north to south. The highest peak, Mount Morrison, reaches 13,000 feet, and along the east coast are some of the most rugged cliffs in the world.
