| description | This article analyzes Taiwan between 1624 and 1684, a period during which the island ceased to be peripheral and became a strategic space in Southeast Asian trade, a stage for disputes among Chinese, Dutch, and Iberians. Drawing on a documentary approach that combines Dutch, Iberian, and Chinese sources, the study investigates how major geopolitical changes intersected with local dynamics, shaping trade flows, migration networks, and power relations. Among these are the dynastic union of Castile and Portugal under Philip II and the Flemish rebellion, which projected European presence in the East, as well as transformations in Japan under Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the Manchu invasion of China in 1644, which turned Taiwan into a Ming stronghold and later a base for integration into the Qing empire. The text describes the Dutch occupation of the southwestern coast (1624–1662) and the Castilian fortifications in the north (1626–1642), articulated by the presence of Chinese merchant communities on the western coasts and the mobility of native communities. Based on demographic estimates and accounts of fortifications, it reveals Taiwan’s role as a space of interconnection between commercial networks and imperial power dynamics, as well as processes of assimilation of indigenous peoples (Ami, Kuvalan, Puyuma). It concludes that Taiwan in this period emerges as a strategic key to the regional system, gradually integrating into the Chinese empire and influencing perceptions of border, cooperation, and conflict between Europeans and Chinese. |
