Why was Taiwan withered back to Stone Age after WWII?

“Taiwan has so much money it floods your ankles.”

  Taiwan’s sugar production ranked only after India, Cuba, and Java in 
quantity. In fact, in an exposition organized to celebrate the forty 
years of Japanese rule in 1935, the sugar industry exhibit reminded 
visitors, “The sugar industry is the mother of Taiwan’s culture.”
