Sino Japanese War
DOCUMENT 1:
The First Sino-Japanese War was fought between Qing China and Meiji Japan officially from
Aug 1, 1894 to April 17, 1895 ( fighting broke out on July 25, 1894 ) over control of Korea,
which was a Chinese tribute state . Many foreign observers expected China to win, as its
navy was stronger on paper with its ironclad battleships and the Chinese army was
assumed to be massive. While China had modernized somewhat under the Self
Strengthening Movement, it could not match the rapid progress made in Japan under the
Meiji Restoration.
The war started in the Seoul area of modern South Korea. Both China and Japan had the
right to send troops to Korea under the Tientsin Convention of 1885. A rebellion broke out
in Korea in 1894, known as the Tonghak Rebellion. Japan used this as a pretext to try to
start a war with China in Korea, which China and Japan had been ruling as a coprotectorate, with China playing the leading role. Soon, both China and Japan had troops in
Korea, and this explosive situation soon led to conflict .Japan felt it was strong enough at
this point to challenge China in a war over Korea.
Choose one of the following questions to answer:
State the cause of the First Sino-Japanese War.
OR
Why did foreigner observers expect China to win the First Sino-japanese War?
OR
How did the Meiji restoration prepare Japan for victory?

The Anglo-Japanese Treaty of Alliance, the first between a European country
and an Asiatic power against a Western rival, was signed on January 30th,
1902
Japanese imperialism [threatened]
British commercial [trade] interests in
China and the Russian occupation of
Manchuria in 1900, which threatened
both. Joseph Chamberlain considered
that ‘our interests in China are so
great, our proportion of the trade is
so enormous and the potentialities of
that trade are so gigantic that I feel
no more vital question has ever been
presented …’. The Japanese,
meanwhile, were nervous of Russian
ambitions in Korea, which they
regarded as their own back yard, and
Hayashi told Lord Lansdowne plainly
that his country considered the
protection of its interests in Korea ‘its
first and last wish’. The Japanese got
what they wanted. It was agreed that
if either of the high contracting
parties became involved in war with
another country, the other party
would remain neutral. If either party
were confronted by two or more
opponents, however, the other party
would come to its aid. Japan could
now count on the British in a war with
Russia if any other power (France and
Germany were the ones in mind)
were to ally with Russia. Japanese
domination of Korea was tacitly
accepted –

Answerone of the following questions:
What was the purpose of the Anglo-Japanese Treaty of Alliance?
OR
Will this treaty reinforce Japanese beliefs in ethnocentrism?
.
Russo-Japanese War
The Boxer Rebellion of 1900 caused the European powers and Japan to send troops to China
to suppress the rebels. When the fighting was over, Russian troops were occupying
Manchuria. Russia promised to withdraw these forces by 1903, but failed to do so, wishing to
hold Manchuria as a springboard for further expansion of her interest in the Far East.
Meanwhile Japan was heavily engaged in Korea, successfully increasing her influence in that
country. Russia also had interest in Korea, and although at first Russians and Japanese
managed to peacefully coexist, it was not long before tensions on both sides led to
hostilities…During her negotiations with Japan, Russia did not expect the Japanese to go to
war. After all, Japan was a newly emergent country, whose naval officers might have been
trained in Britain and her army officers in Germany, but several of those officers had begun
their careers wearing armor and brandishing swords. The Russian army was the world's most
powerful, or at least that is what the Russians believed. But the Japanese had other ideas.
Japan knew that they could not win a long war fought over a vast expanse, but they could
win a short localized war.
The Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05, which began with the Japanese naval attack on Port
Arthur, had its roots in the simultaneous determination of both Japan and Russia to develop
'spheres of influence' in the Far East, mainly at the expense of China.
Japan defeated China and Russia within a ten year span, should the Western World (Europe
and America) be concerned by the aggressive actions of Japan? Support your claim with a
logical argument.
