First, the influence of the Sino-Japanese War on China.
1. The failure of the Sino-Japanese War declared the bankruptcy of the Westernization Movement. From 65438 to 1960s, faced with the situation of internal troubles and foreign invasion, the Qing government appeared the Westernization School represented by Li Hongzhang, Zuo and Zeng Guofan, which advocated maintaining the rule of the Qing Dynasty with advanced western science and technology, and set off the Westernization Movement of "learning from foreigners to control foreigners". However, the fiasco of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 proved that the Westernization Movement did not make China prosperous, but also declared the bankruptcy of the Westernization Movement which advertised "self-improvement" and "seeking wealth".
2. The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 greatly deepened the semi-colonial degree of China. 1894- 1895 The Sino-Japanese War of 1895 resulted in the signing of the Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty, commonly known as "treaty of shimonoseki", which is the most serious humiliating treaty after "treaty of nanking" and an extremely important step to turn China into a semi-colonial society. First, from the territorial point of view, the Japanese occupied Taiwan Province Province of China, which occupied the most territory of China after Russia. Secondly, in terms of reparations, the huge reparations were nearly three times of the total revenue of the Qing government, far exceeding the financial capacity of China, forcing the Qing government to borrow foreign debts with sovereignty as collateral, which facilitated foreign powers to control the economic lifeline of China through loans. Thirdly, in terms of setting up factories, the Japanese are allowed to invest and set up factories in China, which meets the needs of imperialist capital export. Before the war, it was illegal for the big powers to set up factories in China, but now they invoke the one-sided MFN clause of "benefit sharing" and enjoy this new privilege one after another. They "legally" run many light industries in China, and use cheap raw materials and labor from China, which directly strengthens the oppression of China's national industries and hinders the development of China's productive forces. Finally, in terms of opening ports, treaty of shimonoseki opened four ports, namely Shashi, Chongqing, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and opened all the richest Yangtze River basins in China, from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Sichuan to imperialism. In a word, treaty of shimonoseki reflects the imperialist demand for capital export and world division. The invasion of China by foreign capitalism has entered a new stage, and the degree of semi-colonization of China society has greatly deepened.
3. The failure of the Sino-Japanese War aroused the national consciousness of China people. China's fiasco in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 triggered a crisis of reparations and partition, which pushed China into the abyss of semi-colonialism. The deep national crisis aroused a new national awakening, and the people of China set off the climax of the patriotic national salvation movement. Standing at the forefront of saving the nation from extinction is a group of intellectuals representing the national bourgeoisie, and the reformists headed by Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao carried out a bourgeois reform movement aimed at saving the country. The revolutionaries headed by Sun Yat-sen carried out a bourgeois national revolution aimed at overthrowing the Qing government and establishing a bourgeois republic. At the same time, the people with farmers as the main body launched the anti-imperialist and patriotic Boxer Movement. Although all these patriotic national salvation movements failed, they dealt a heavy blow to the reactionary forces at home and abroad, showing the great strength and strong patriotic national consciousness of the people of China.
4. 1894 The failure of the Sino-Japanese War erased the image of the Qing government as a great power. /kloc-Before the middle of the 0/7th century, the Qing Dynasty was in the forefront of the world, especially the "prosperous period of kanggan", which made the rulers of the Qing Dynasty indulge in the dream of "going to the country in heaven". From the late Qianlong period, the Qing Dynasty was economically backward and politically corrupt, and gradually fell behind the world historical trend. The Opium War opened the door for China to close its doors to the outside world, and China began to become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. With the deepening of China's semi-colonial and semi-feudal status, China's international status is gradually declining, especially in the Sino-Japanese War, when the Qing Empire was defeated by a small Japanese, the image of the Qing government as a "big country" disappeared and its international status plummeted.
5. Objectively promoted the development of capitalism in China. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, with the intensification of imperialist aggression, the natural economy of China society was further destroyed, which objectively provided conditions for the development of Chinese national capitalism. Some patriotic business people, feeling the humiliation of defeat, issued the call of "saving the country through industry" and set up factories to boycott "foreign factories". At the same time, in order to expand the tax source and solve the financial crisis, the Qing government relaxed the restrictions on private factories. China has set off a wave of setting up industries.
Second, the influence of the Sino-Japanese War on Japan
Japan's victory in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 caused the Japanese imperialist forces to expand rapidly. It used China's huge reparations to increase capital accumulation, develop the arms industry and related industries, and soon squeezed into the ranks of imperialist powers and embarked on the militaristic road of invading China and Asia.
Third, the influence of the Sino-Japanese War on North Korea.
After the defeat of the Qing government in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan drove the forces of the Qing government out of Korea, strengthened its control over Korea, and gradually turned Korea into its own colony. From then on to the end of World War II in 1945, the Korean people have been under Japanese colonial rule and suffered for half a century.
Fourthly, the influence of the Sino-Japanese War on the political situation in the Far East.
The signing of treaty of shimonoseki in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 damaged the aggressive rights and interests of Russia, Germany and France in China, especially the interests of Russia in the Far East. Triple interference, Japan returned Liaodong Peninsula to China, but Japan was unwilling. /kloc-At the end of 0/9, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, Russia actually controlled the northeast of China, and the contradiction between Japan and Russia in the Far East intensified. 1904, an imperialist war, the Russo-Japanese War, finally broke out in China.
