Estimates of the number of dead vary from 10,000 to 30,000. This massacre marked the beginning of the White Terror, during which tens of thousands of Taiwanese were reported missing, dead or imprisoned. The incident is one of the most important events in modern Taiwanese history and gave a major impetus to Taiwan's independence movement.
