Wikipedia: The First Sino-Japanese War (1 August 1894 – 17 April 1895) was a war fought between Qing Dynasty China and Meiji Japan, primarily over the control of Korea. Aside from the direct political and military results of the Sino-Japanese War, it served to show how the Qing Dynasty had been weakened (both physically and in prestige) in the previous century (especially by the Opium Wars) and to demonstrate that modernization had been successful in Japan since the Meiji Restoration as compared with the Self-Strengthening Movement in China. Other major results were a shift in regional dominance in East Asia from China to Japan, and a major blow to the Qing Dynasty and the Chinese classical tradition.
