Politically, 1. The Sino-Japanese War further violated China's sovereignty and territorial integrity. After the war, the western powers carved up China, and the national crisis deepened further, which aggravated the class contradictions (bourgeoisie, peasant class and feudal landlord class) at home, thus accelerating the demise of the Qing Dynasty.

From the economic point of view, the total annihilation of China Beiyang Navy in the Sino-Japanese War marked the failure of the Westernization Movement represented by Li Hongzhang, Zuo and Zhang Zhidong, that is, the landlord class tried to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty by introducing western technology. 2. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the treaty of shimonoseki signed by China and Japan stipulated that the Qing government should allow Japan to set up factories at trading ports. This provision shows that the great powers have intensified their economic aggression against China and accelerated the disintegration of China's "male farming and female weaving" natural economy. The disintegration of the natural economy provided labor and capital for capitalism in China, and the strength of the bourgeoisie was enhanced by the development of capitalism, which laid the foundation for the later Revolution of 1911.

From the cultural point of view, the further introduction of western science and culture led to the gradual liberation of China people's thoughts and laid the ideological foundation for the later Revolution of 1911.

In short, due to the further development of capitalism in China and the gradual collapse of feudal monarchy, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 became a turning point in the modern history of China.
