Taipei (Taiwan) in China is the capital of the island nation off the coast of East Asia through which the Tropic of Cancer passes.
The Qing Empire designates Taiwan as one of its provinces. The Qing government signs the Treaty of Shimonoseki, ceding sovereignty over Taiwan to Japan after losing the First Sino-Japanese War (1894–1895). Japan governs the island until 1945. The Kuomintang and the Republic of China Armed Forces were defeated in the Chinese Civil War in December 1949, forcing the Republic of China government to flee to Taiwan.
As a result, the CCP was able to proclaim the founding of the People's Republic of China, a new Chinese state. While Taiwan's current Tsai Ing-wen government argues that Taiwan is already an independent country as the Republic of China (ROC), China now contends that it is a province of the People's Republic of China (PRC).

The Arabian Sea, which is part of the Indian Ocean, lies east of the Arabian Peninsula. It was a strategically important body of water during the expansion of the Arab empire in the 7th century.
The body of water that lies east of the Arabian Peninsula is the Arabian Sea. The Arabian Sea is part of the Indian Ocean and is bordered on the west by the Arabian Peninsula and on the east by India. The Red Sea lies to the west of the Peninsula, although for a time it came into Arab control and provided access to the Arabian Sea. As the Arab empire expanded during the seventh century, the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf became increasingly important for oceangoing vessels, further underlining the strategic value of control over the Arabian Peninsula.
