摘要

一八九四年中日之間爆發了史稱的「甲午戰爭」，無能自大的滿清政府，面對經過明治維新洗禮，完成近代化改造，力圖富國強兵的日本，無疑是以卵擊石，勝負立判。戰敗的清政府只得割地賠款，與日談和，於一八九五年四月十七日簽訂了喪權辱國的《馬關條約》，議定割讓台灣、澎湖及所屬島嶼給日本，開啟了台灣淪為日本殖民地五十餘年的悲慘命運。無辜受累的台灣人民成為清政府的代罪羔羊，一場長達半世紀的反殖抗日運動，就此在台灣各地陸續展開。而台灣的武裝抗日大抵以日本殖民統治的前二十年為界，本文將之分成：一八九五年五月至十一月以台灣民主國為中心的抗日活動、一八九五年十二月至一九○二年五月的游擊武裝抗日及一九○七年七月至一九一五年五月的民族革命三階段，依序論述之。

Sino-Japanese war, the famous battle broke out between Qing Empire of China and Japan in 1895. China was defeated by Japan which has just completed its self-improvement based on the western ideological trend, the so-called Meji Restoration. Due to the failure in war, the Qing Empire was forced to accept a harsh and humiliating treaty in Shimonoseki Negotiation on April 17^(th), 1895. Qing China ceded the full sovereignty of the islands of Taiwan and Penghu to Japan in the Treaty of Shimonoseki. Afterward, Taiwan had been under Japanese rule for more than fifty years. The innocent Taiwanese people became the scapegoat for the incompetent Qing Dynasty. Taiwanese resistance against Japanese rule had started all over the island and lasted for almost half a century. The armed resistance against Japanese rule occurred mostly during the first 20 years of colonial rule, which could be divided into three stages: the defense of the Republic of Formosa from May to November of 1895; guerilla warfare following the collapse of the Republic from December of 1895 to May of 1902; and the final nationalism revolution from July of 1907 to May of 1915.
