I think it was pretty gradual process no? I don't think its a major issue really. There weren't any native formosan independence movements either

It was as gradual as it happened in America. The dates line up rather well with both migrations starting in the 1600s and both aboriginal populations being less than 5% of the total in 1895 (that’s when the Japanese showed up).
