Taiwan is home to thousands of derelict military fortifications, most of them dating back to either the Japanese colonial era or the early Cold War. The Japanese were mostly concerned about defending Taiwan from a possible Allied landing in World War 2 whereas the KMT built fortifications to defend against an invasion from China. Since modern military technology largely made small-scale fortifications obsolete most were abandoned after democratization in the 1990s.
