Ep 23: The First Sino-Japanese War (Part 1: The Setup)
Manage episode 495869109 series 3570807
The First Sino-Japanese War is often overlooked, but in many ways, it mirrors the Korean War that would erupt 56 years later. A declining regional power clashed with a rising empire over Korea, setting off events that would reshape East Asia. In this first episode of the series, we examine the mistakes of China's Qing Government, the crises shaking Korea, and Japan's growing ambitions—all of which set the stage for a war that ended in China's humiliating defeat, which included the cession of Taiwan Province to Japan.
