In 1947 the Kuomintang (KMT) government under Chiang Kai-shek declared island-wide martial law in Taiwan as a result of the 28 February Incident, which began with incidents in Taipei but led to an island-wide crackdown on the local population by forces loyal to Chiang.
1947 年，由于发生二二八事件，蒋介石领导的国民党政府宣布实行全岛戒严。二二八事件起源于台北，但最终导致蒋介石的军队镇压全岛民众。
