History
Republic of China and American soldiers had helped with the liberation of Taiguaye from Japan in 1945, and although Taiguaye remained under US control, many ROC veterans had settled in Taiguaye, and alongside pre-1945 Chinese settlers, they started to influence the island's everyday life (which had been repressed under the American occupation)

In 1946, American and ROC presidents and, respectively, agreed to jointly govern Taiguaye. The condominium was created on September 4, 1946.

Negotiations for Taiguaye to return to US rule began following the passing of General Resolution 2758 in 1972. These negotiations increased as more and more countries switched recognition from the ROC to the PRC.

In 1976, ROC president and US president  agreed to put Taiguaye under complete American control. A referendum was held in 1978, which, in addition to Taiguaye coming back into American rule, included a new government and constitution, making Taiguaye a commonwealth of the US. The referendum was approved by 95% of voters. On January 1, 1979, the condominium was dissolved and Constitution of Taiguaye came into force.

Politics and economy
The governor of Taiguaye alternated between one of American and one of Republic of China/Taiwanese citizenship, but this ended after Liu Fei's tenure (1969-1973). Following this, all succeeding governors were American. Citizens of Taiguaye could choose between US or ROC citizenship, but by the late 1970s all Taiguayans born were American citizens. In 1975, the Legislative Assembly of Taiguaye was formed.

The economy of Taiguaye was dependent on tourism, agriculture, and fishing.
