The East Korean School Party Uprising, that is, the Sino-Japanese Peasant War, refers to the peasant uprising that broke out in North Korea in 1894 (according to the Sino-Japanese War) and was led by Quan Junzhun, the leader of the East Korean School Road, and opposed the feudal rule of the Korean dynasty and the imperialist separatist aggression.

Because this uprising was under the banner of learning from the East, with Oriental Taoism as the core, and the ruling class often called it the "East Learning Party", it was also called the East Learning Party Uprising in history.

The Sino-Japanese Peasant War is a massive anti-imperialist and anti-feudal peasant revolutionary movement on the Korean Peninsula and in the history of the world. At the same time, it directly led to the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War in 1894-1895, so it was also an important event in the history of modern international relations. The Sino-Japanese peasant war lasted 10 months, and finally ended in failure under the joint strangulation of reactionary forces at home and abroad in Korea.

The significance of the Sino-Japanese War:

The failure of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 marked the failure of the Westernization Movement in the Qing Dynasty, which lasted for more than 30 years, and the achievements of modernization went up in smoke, breaking the pursuit of national rejuvenation by the people of China in modern times.

The cession of land and reparations and the loss of sovereignty facilitated foreign powers to give up their capital, which set off a wave of carve-up, marked a new stage of foreign powers' aggression against China, greatly deepened China's semi-colonization, and China's international status declined sharply.

The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 directly led to the upsurge of China people's spontaneous anti-aggression struggle, such as the China people's national salvation movement, the bourgeois political reform and democratic revolution movement and the Boxer Movement.
