Taipei is the capital of Taiwan, formally known as the Republic of China. The area that became Taipei was believed to be first settled in the early 18th century around 1709 but it was not assigned as the capital until 1886 by the Qing Dynasty. It survived Japanese rule during World War II and eventually control of the Republic of China government was assumed by the Chinese Nationalist Party and declared Taipei as the capital. Taipei continued to expand and grew into a major metropolitan center for finance and technology.
