摘要

１６２２－１６２４荷蘭人曾經佔有澎湖兩年，以往學者討論荷蘭人據澎湖問題，不是過於簡單，讓人無法了解事情的經過，就是過於政治化，以理論取代史學，而讓整個問題的焦點糊不清。本文主要是透過荷蘭文資料，特別是雙方來往信件的整理。比較重視歷史事件的敘述，而不是歷史理論的建立。將主要的焦點放在：一、荷蘭人佔有澎湖的目的；二、佔據澎湖期間雙方的交涉與貿易；三、荷蘭人為甚麼會放棄澎湖而到台灣。　本文指出，追求與明王朝貿易是他們佔領澎湖的主要因素，然而澎湖是屬於明帝國的領土，不許外國人定居，並用武力壓抑之。荷蘭人一方面必須面對明帝國的武力，另一方面又無法獲得貿易，迫使荷蘭人必須由澎湖撤退到台灣，不過他們想用武力達到貿易的目的，卻沒有因此放棄。
