First, the China Westernization Movement went bankrupt. In the previous Sino-French War, the Fujian Navy founded by Li Hongzhang was completely annihilated in the Mawei naval battle, and the beiyang fleet founded by Li Hongzhang was completely annihilated in the Ahava campaign, all of which showed that the Westernization Movement aimed at "self-improvement" and "seeking wealth" was unsuccessful. Thus marking its bankruptcy.

Second, from a political point of view, the signing of the treaty of shimonoseki further damaged China's sovereignty and territorial integrity; The opening of new trading ports has made foreign aggression go deep into the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Huge reparations have increased the burden on the people of China, and the oppression of foreign capital has seriously hindered the development of Chinese national capitalism. In a word, it greatly deepened the semi-colonial process of China and basically established the semi-colonial and semi-feudal society of China.

Thirdly, from the perspective of the economic development of national capitalism, the treaty of shimonoseki allowed the great powers to invest and set up factories in China, which expanded the capital output of the great powers in China and further disintegrated the natural economy of China. In addition, in order to repay the war reparations, the Qing government relaxed the restrictions on private factories. This objectively promoted the development of national capitalist economy. The initial development of national capitalism has made the national bourgeoisie develop day by day. With the growth of its own strength, the national bourgeoisie began to step onto the historical stage at the end of 19, thus laying an economic and class foundation for the Reform and Reform and the Revolution of 1911.

Internationally, China's defeat greatly reduced its international status and stimulated the feverish sweat of the great powers to carve up China. China is facing an unprecedented crisis of national subjugation and extinction.

Militarily, in order to save the crisis, the Qing government first carried out military reform. 1895, the Qing government sent Hu and Yuan Shikai to tianjin railway station to train the new army in the western way and became an important military force on the political stage in the late Qing Dynasty. It was also the military basis for Yuan Shikai to usurp the fruits of the victory of the Revolution of 1911 and establish the rule of Beiyang warlords.

6. The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 completely broke China's dream of "going to China", and prompted the Chinese nation to truly awaken, and all walks of life set off a struggle to save the country and survive.

There are three kinds of performances:

1 promoted the rise of the Reform Movement. After the news of the signing of treaty of shimonoseki reached Beijing, Kang Youwei, who was on trial in Beijing, joined forces with more than 300 juren from various provinces/KLOC-0 and wrote a famous bus letter, which pushed the reformist trend of thought to the stage of political movement with practical significance. With the support of some feudal nobles headed by Emperor Guangxu, a political reform movement was launched.

The people of the whole country rose up against aggression, showing their indignation at aggression and their self-defense instinct to defend their hometown and motherland. For example, during and after the Sino-Japanese War, Shandong suffered particularly serious aggression from foreign powers. First, the Boxer Rebellion broke out in Shandong. Since Taiwan Province Province was cut, the people of Taiwan Province Province have waged a struggle against cutting the platform for more than half a century.

3. The national bourgeois revolutionaries represented by Dr. Sun Yat-sen tried to change the system and establish an American-style bourgeois democratic republic in order to get rid of the national crisis and revitalize China.

4. From 190 1, the Qing government headed by Empress Dowager Cixi also carried out the "New Deal" to maintain its rule.
