8661035 The Chino-Japanese War, 1894 (litho) by Woodville, Richard Caton II (1856-1927) (after); Private Collection; (add.info.: The Chino-Japanese War, 1894. The Chino-Japanese war was caused by the action of China in keeping control over Korea after sending troops to suppress a rebellion. Li Hung Chang had spent large sums of money in organizing a European drilled army, but the Chinese were decisively beaten in the war. The onerous terms imposed by Japan were mitigated at the instance of the Powers, but China was forced to pay a heavy indemnity and to cede Formosa.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print depicts a pivotal moment in history - The Chino-Japanese War of 1894. The tension between China and Japan over control of Korea erupted into a full-scale conflict, with the Chinese forces suffering a decisive defeat at the hands of the Japanese army.
The image captures the chaos and movement of battle, with blurred motion conveying the intensity of the fighting. The scene is filled with action, agitation, and rebellion as both sides clash in a struggle for dominance.
Despite China's efforts to modernize its military under Li Hung Chang, they were unable to withstand Japan's superior tactics and weaponry. As a result of their defeat, China was forced to pay heavy indemnities and cede territories such as Formosa (modern-day Taiwan) to Japan.
This print serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences of imperial ambitions and territorial disputes in East Asia during this tumultuous period. It offers viewers a glimpse into a chapter of history marked by conflict, power struggles, and shifting alliances.
Through this historical artwork, we are invited to reflect on the complexities of international relations and warfare in the early 20th century, shedding light on how past events continue to shape our world today.
