From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dutch occupation of Keelung (1664–1668) was a military occupation by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) of the northern Taiwanese port of Keelung. Having lost the rest of Taiwan two years earlier, the Dutch returned to use Keelung as a base for trade and military action against the Spanish, Portuguese, and the Kingdom of Tungning. After four years of internal squabbles, a lack of success in achieving their objectives, and aboriginal resistance, the VOC withdrew peacefully in 1668.
