First Sino-Japanese War
The First Sino-Japanese War occurred at the end of the nineteenth century when Japan invaded China and Korea. The war broke out in 1894, the year Jiawu according to the traditional Chinese calendar, and is therefore known in China as the War of Jiawu (known as the Japan-Qing War in Japan and as the First Sino-Japanese War in Western countries).
