Turning Points in History part 5

Taiwan

Taiwan is the continuation of the Republic of China, which was established in 1911, when the last dynasty of Chinese emperors was overthrown.
So we can use 1911 as starting point to find some important years for Taiwan.
1911 is in the cycle that started with 1864 Jia Zi year.
So it was the #47 year in that cycle:




















After the Chinese government lost the civil war on the mainland it fled to Taiwan in 1949.
1949 is #85 in this cycle.
However, in the first years the situation was very unclear and it was not expected to last long.
Then the USA got involved in the Korean war and suddenly found it useful to protect Taiwan.
In 1952, Japan dropped its claims to the Taiwanese territory, which it had occupied for decades.

This paved the way for Taiwan to move forward on its own.
1952 is the #88 in this diagram, it was a very decisive year for them.
We see #88 again nicely on the square line to the 1911 starting year (#47)
#141 is another important year.

This was 2005, the year of strong pro-independence forces in Taiwan, but the path to independence was being blocked by mainland China, as we already mentioned above.
Interesting here is how the diagrams for mainland and for Taiwan both point to this year 2005.

The next potentially very important year will be #153, that is to be 2017
Some users of Gann's Square of Nine also use the semi-square (45 degree) angles, once it gets further from the center of the diagram.
In this case that would point to #147 , year 2011, as another possible year of great change for Taiwan.
