In China's modern anti-aggression war, the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 can be said to be the war with the largest scale, the worst failure, the deepest influence, the heaviest consequences and the most lessons. Because of this, it is also of the most practical significance to study and study this history again. 1894- 1895 The Sino-Japanese War of 1895 was a war between China and China for control of the Korean Peninsula in the late Qing Dynasty. Because it happened in 1894, that is, in the 20th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, the main branch was the Sino-Japanese War, so China was called the Sino-Japanese War in history. 1On July 25th, 894, Japanese ships attacked Japanese ships, and the Sino-Japanese War broke out. 1 August, 8941day, China and Japan declared war, and the Sino-Japanese War broke out in an all-round way. The Sino-Japanese War lasted for 9 months and was divided into two battlefields: land war and naval battle. The Japanese army captured Pyongyang, North Korea, defeated the Beiyang Navy in the Yellow Sea naval battle, then captured Lushun and Weihai in China, and carried out mass slaughter in Lushun on June 22nd1894+065438+1October 22nd. After the war, the two sides signed the treaty of shimonoseki, which stipulated that China ceded territory to Japan for compensation. As a result, the Qing government in China was burdened with heavy foreign debts, and its national strength declined day by day, making it a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country. 1894- 1895 sino-Japanese war background: 1894- 1895 sino-Japanese war (also known as the first sino-Japanese war, 1894- 1895) Japan called the Japanese-Qing War) was a war between China and China in the late Qing Dynasty for the control of the Korean Peninsula. Because it happened in 1894, that is, in the 20th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, the main branch was the Sino-Japanese War, so China was called the Sino-Japanese War in history. The Sino-Japanese War lasted for 9 months and was divided into two battlefields: land war and naval battle. The Japanese army captured Pyongyang, North Korea, defeated the Beiyang Navy in the Yellow Sea naval battle, then captured Lushun and Weihai in China, and carried out mass slaughter in Lushun on June 22nd1894+065438+1October 22nd. After the war, the two sides signed the treaty of shimonoseki, which stipulated that China ceded territory to Japan for compensation. As a result, the Qing government in China was burdened with heavy foreign debts, and its national strength declined day by day, making it a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country. However, due to the huge war reparations, Japan's national strength and military strength increased rapidly, and it gradually embarked on the militaristic expansion of Zhang Zhilu. The background of the war: generate's modern country VS the radiant old empire. On the Japanese side, 1868, Japan embarked on the capitalist road through the Meiji Restoration, and its national strength became stronger and stronger. At that time, Japan was experiencing two industrial revolutions. 1888, Japan's industrial revolution reached its climax, and it was in urgent need of export of foreign goods and capital. However, as an island country, Japan itself lacks resources and has a small market. Coupled with the strong domestic feudal remnants, various contradictions in the social transition period are sharp. Therefore, the Japanese ruling group headed by the emperor is eager to find a way out from external expansion. Therefore, from 65438 to 0887, the Japanese government formulated the so-called "Qing conquest strategy" and gradually evolved into a "mainland policy" centered on aggression against China. The first step is to capture Taiwan Province Province, the second step is to annex North Korea, the third step is to March into Manchuria, the fourth step is to destroy China, and the fifth step is to conquer Asia, dominate the world and realize the so-called "eight wins and one universe". The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 was an important link in the first two steps of Japan's "mainland policy". China

At that time, China was in the late Qing Dynasty and was plunged into the abyss of semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. From/kloc-0 to the 1960s and 1970s, the Westernization School in the Qing government launched a Westernization Movement with the slogan of "self-improvement" and "seeking wealth". The Westernization Movement kept pace with Europe and America in science and technology (especially military technology), so the scene of "ruling and rejuvenating the country together" appeared in the Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, the Beiyang Navy was formally established in 1888, which became a powerful naval force in Asia. Even the European and American powers have slowed down the pace of aggression. However, the Qing government did not change the state system like Japan, so the so-called "Zhongxing" was just a flash in the pan. At this time, the politics of the Qing dynasty was very corrupt, the people lived in poverty, the various factions in the officialdom were intrigued and intrigued, the national defense and military strength were very different, and the discipline was lax. /kloc-At the end of 0/9, East Asia, one is an emerging old empire and the other is a modern country in generate. In this case, China and Japan could not avoid World War I. In Europe and America, the major capitalist countries in the world gradually transitioned to imperialism. Japan's aggression was supported by western powers to some extent. The United States hopes that Japan will become its assistant in invading China and North Korea; Britain tried to use Japan to contain Russia's forces in the Far East; Germany and France also supported Japan's invasion of China, so as to seize new interests by taking advantage of Japan's invasion of China. Although Russia has great ambitions for Northeast China and North Korea, it is not ready yet, so it adopts a non-interference policy towards Japan. The acquiescence or connivance of great powers has become a favorable condition for Japan to implement its aggressive plan.
