Answer 2

Following Japan's victory over the Qing Dynasty in the first Sino-Japanese war, Taiwan was ceded to Japan under the Treaty of Shimonoseki in 1895.

The Qing Dynasty was overthrown and Republic of China(ROC) was established in mainland China in 1912.

At the end of World War II in 1945, Japan surrendered and gave up Taiwan.

Meanwhile, because the Chinese Civil War between the ROC and the Communist Party of China is in progress, there was no appropriate representative government of China. As a result, to whom Taiwan should belong to after WWII was never legally decided.

However, the ROC lost the civil war and its government fled to Taiwan in 1949.

The Communist forces took control of China and founded the People's Republic of China (PRC) in the same year.

Since then, China and Taiwan remained seperated and the ROC is now commonly knowned as Taiwan.
