Last sentence of first paragraph
This is wrong. It's not about ethnic identity, it's because of the failure of both Nationalists and Communists to completely annihilate their respective opponents. Thus, it's entirely political. If it was about ethnicity, than the 98%, who are undeniably Han Chinese, would be fighting for themselves to get expelled by the Taiwanese aborigines. It's like giving back the lands to Native Americans after several centuries of foreign settling. It would be the most honorable deed, but just not realistic. --2.245.77.140 (talk) 17:08, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Redirect "Formosans"
Searching the keyword "Formosans" (plural) doesn't redirect here, and it really ought to. I don't know how to set that up, but someone should. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kester Nethlo (talk • contribs) 20:23, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I redirected "Formosans" to this article. Ruslik_ Zero 19:42, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

temp removal cited text
"The Aboriginals often slaughtered the shipwrecked crews of western ships. In 1867 the entire American crew of the Rover were massacred by aboriginals in the Rover incident. When the Americans launched the punitive Formosa Expedition in retaliation, the aboriginals defeated the Americans and forced them to retreat, killing an American marine while suffering no casualties themselves.       In the Mudan Incident (1871), Aboriginals slaughtered 54 Ryūkyūan sailors which led to the Japanese invasion of Taiwan (1874) against the Aboriginals.
 * Thanks to all valued editors for their contributions. As per the warning template re dubious sources, I have removed some particularly poorly cited and formatted text (with a few dubious sources); will verify and re-insert later. Text follows, in quote template:

During the Sino-French War the French attempted an invasion of Taiwan during the Keelung Campaign. Liu Mingchuan, who was leading the defence of Taiwan, recruited Aboriginals to serve alongside the Chinese soldiers in fighting against the French. The French were defeated at the Battle of Tamsui and the Qing forces pinned the French down at Keelung in an eight-month-long campaign before the French withdrew."
