The February 28 incident, also called the February 28 massacre, was an anti-government uprising in Taiwan that erupted in 1947 and was violently suppressed by the Kuomintang-led Nationalist government of the Republic of China. Unrest spread across Taiwan and the Penghu Islands between late February and mid-May of 1947, and a 1992 government report estimated that between 18,000 and 28,000 people were killed in the crackdown.
