Seediq people

<h2 id="resistance-to-colonization">Resistance to colonization</h2>
<h3>Wushe events</h3>
Starting from 1897, the Japanese began a road building program that brought them into the indigenous people's territory. This was seen as invasive. Contacts and conflicts escalated and some indigenous people were killed. In 1901, in a battle with the Japanese, indigenous people defeated 670 Japanese soldiers. As a result of this, in 1902, the Japanese isolated Wushe.
Between 1914 and 1917, Japanese forces carried out an aggressive 'pacification' program killing many resisting people. At this time, the leader of Mahebo, <a href="/facts/Mona_Rudao/uXkyBQHg">Mona Rudao</a>, tried to resist rule by Japan, but he failed twice because his plans were divulged. At his third attempt, he organized seven out of twelve groups to fight against the Japanese forces.

<h3>Renzhiguan events, 1902</h3>
After taking over the plain, Japanese gained control of Wushe. Some of the Tgdaya people who resisted the Japanese were shot. Because of this, fighting broke out again,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10">10</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11">11</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12">12</a> leading to the <a href="/facts/Wushe_incident/U2z0sSc6">Wushe incident</a>.

<h3>Wushe Incident, 1930</h3>
Main article: <a href="/facts/Wushe_Incident/U2z0sSc6">Wushe Incident</a>

The Musha Incident (<a href="/facts/Chinese_language/771ruUY1">Chinese</a> and <a href="/facts/Japanese_language/EEv485a5">Japanese</a>: 霧社事件 Chinese and Japanese: 霧社事件; <a href="/facts/Pinyin/pUwjfMXg">pinyin</a>: Wùshè Shìjiàn; <a href="/facts/Wade%E2%80%93Giles/CD1F1u4t">Wade–Giles</a>: Wu4-she4 Shih4-chien4; <a href="/facts/Pe%CC%8Dh-%C5%8De-j%C4%AB/D9XlKhn6">Pe̍h-ōe-jī</a>: Bū-siā Sū-kiāⁿ <a href="/facts/R%C5%8Dmaji/7JdM0cAy">rōmaji</a>: Musha Jiken), also known as the Wushe Rebellion and several other similar names, began in October 1930 and was the last major uprising against colonial Japanese forces in <a href="/facts/Taiwan_under_Japanese_rule/42jbyfMc">Japanese Taiwan</a>. In response to long-term oppression by Japanese authorities, the Seediq indigenous group in Musha (Wushe) attacked the village, killing over 130 Japanese. In response, the Japanese led a relentless counter-attack, killing over 600 Seediq in retaliation. The handling of the incident by the Japanese authorities was strongly criticised, leading to many changes in aboriginal policy.
