First Sino-Japanese War

Japan and Qing China fought the First Sino–Japanese War (or the Qing-Japanese War or Sino-Japanese War (1894–1895)), primarily over control of Korea. To distinguish it from the Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945), this war is called the Jiǎwǔ War (甲午战争) in Chinese because it occurred in the Chinese year of that name. The Japanese refer to this conflict as the Japan-Qing War (日清戦争, Nisshin sénsou).
