In addition, in order to fight against the humiliation of Russia and the intervention of the three countries, Japan put forward the slogan of "sleeping and tasting courage" and restarted the ten-year expansion plan; On the other hand, it contributed to the formation of "anglo-japanese alliance" and opened a new round of hegemony in East Asia.
After the war, the power of the great powers further extended to the inland of China, and capital export became the main carrier and weapon of aggression.
