Two wars are known by the title ''''Sino-Japanese War''''.
    
The first took place in 1894-95, sparked by the jostling of [[China]] and [[Japan]] for power in [[Korea]]. China was comprehensively defeated, and Japan established a protectorate over Korea and  annexed [[Taiwan]] and [[Port Arthur]], although was forced to give up Port Arthur under international pressure. Japan also occupied the naval base of [[Weihaiwei]] from 1895 to 1898, when it was leased from China by the [[United Kingdom]]. China's humiliating defeat gave impetus to the reform movement, and led to the [[Hundred Days]] reforms of 1898.
