The Taiwan occupation flag
According to the research of Dr. Roger Lin and several local Taiwanese historians of his acquaintance, the design of this “Taiwan occupation flag” is an almost exact replica of the flag which actually flew in Taiwan for some time in the period of early Sept. through mid-to-late Oct. of 1945.
BACKGROUND: The Japanese surrender documents had been signed by the representatives of the Japanese Emperor aboard the USS Missouri, in Tokyo Bay, on Sept. 2, 1945.
US military personnel were in Taiwan in early Sept. 1945.
It is a fact that all military attacks against the Japanese territory of Taiwan (“Formosa and the Pescadores”) in the WWII period were conducted by US military forces. The English, French, Australians, New Zealanders, etc. did not participate. The Republic of China military troops did not participate.
Later, the military forces of the Republic of China were transported to Taiwan on US ships and airplanes in mid-Oct. 1945. The local Japanese surrender ceremonies were held on Oct. 25, 1945 in the capital city of Taipei. Military troops under Chiang Kai-shek accepted the surrender of the Japanese military officers, according to the provisions of General Order No. 1, issued by Gen. Douglas MacArthur on Sept. 2, 1945.
Thus began the military occupation of Taiwan.
