A note on geographic names: in 1947, little over a year after the Japanese empire had withdrawn from the island, the names of Taiwan's cities -- and indeed that of Taiwan itself -- sometimes differed from what we are used to today. Thus Taipei was referred to in the earlier articles as Taihoku (the Japanese pronounciation of the characters) or Taipeh, while Taichung was known as Taichu, Kaohsiung as Kaoshun. With few exceptions Taiwan was known by its seventeenth-century Portuguese name Formosa, and the Taiwanese as Formosans.

We have included a map (pending) to assist the reader in locating the cities, where most of the demonstrations and killings took place.
