Although Taiwan is a corner of the Chinese Empire, it has been the key place for Western forces to compete since the end of the 19th century. In 1895, Japan defeated the Qing government in the Sino Japanese War of 1894-1895 and took Taiwan as its colony. It also began to introduce this kind of universal education model in Taiwan.
