The Sino-Japanese War was an important event in the modern history of China and even the world. 1894- 1895 The Sino-Japanese War was an unjust war. Before the Sino-Japanese War, Russia and Britain were basically fighting for hegemony in the Far East. Although the situation of China and Japan is different, they are both restricted by unequal treaties. The victory of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 made Japan a powerful Asian country and completely got rid of its semi-colonial status. However, China's international status has plummeted, with a large outflow of wealth and weak national strength. The failure of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 shocked China society as never before. The "enemy" who has always been looked down upon by China wiped out the Beiyang Navy, claimed huge sums of money and broke the country. Up and down, thus losing confidence. At this point, the Qing government's independent finance went bankrupt and lived by borrowing from western powers.

1. The influence of the Sino-Japanese War on China.

1. The failure of the Sino-Japanese War declared the bankruptcy of the Westernization Movement.

2. The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 greatly deepened the degree of semi-colonization of China.

3. The failure of the Sino-Japanese War aroused the national consciousness of China people.

4. 1894- 1895 The failure of the Sino-Japanese War made the image of the Qing government as a great power disappear.

5. Objectively promoted the development of capitalism in China.

The failure of China in the Sino-Japanese War further accelerated the speed of semi-colonization and deepened the national crisis. At the same time, it also prompted the Chinese nation to wake up day by day, and the bourgeois reform movement and the boxer anti-imperialist patriotic movement rose rapidly. Under more difficult circumstances, the Qing government began to reform the military system, and China's modern military reform began to enter a substantive stage.

Politically, it complicates the social contradictions in China: the contradiction between foreign capitalism and the Chinese nation, feudalism and the masses of the people has become the main social contradictions; (2) The invasion of foreign capitalism and the emergence of national capitalism have made China a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society; (3) Chinese and foreign reactionary forces colluded to suppress the people's revolution in China; (4) The semi-colonial and semi-feudal society determines that national capitalism can only grow in the cracks. After the national bourgeoisie entered the political arena, the Reform and Reform and the Revolution of 1911 rose one after another.

Economically: ① The huge compensation is equivalent to the sum of the fiscal revenue of the Qing government for three years. On the one hand, the Qing government had to step up the search for the people's fat and paste, increasing the burden on the people, on the other hand, it borrowed a lot of foreign debts. Western countries further controlled China's finance and economy by providing loans with political conditions to the Qing government. (2) The treaty ports went deep into the hinterland of the Yangtze River, which was unprecedented, and made the imperialist aggression against China go deep into the mainland. (3) The establishment of a factory in China was formally written into the treaty text, which opened the door for capital export. From then on, western powers rushed to set up factories in China, further plundering and carving up China's raw materials, labor and market, which dealt a heavy blow to the development of capitalism in China and hindered the development of China's productive forces.
