7:32 The troops sent by Qing to fight in the war was not Beiyang Army(北洋军). Instead, they were the Huai Army(淮军) built and led by Li Hongzhang. Beiyang Army was originated from the New Army(新编陆军 or 新军) which was created after the first Sino-Japanese war. But the navy involved in the war was the Beiyang Fleet(北洋水师). I think that was the part where confusing was caused.

My relative Philo McGiffin fought for the Chinese as a naval commander during the war. He went to Annapolis, then sold his services to the Chinese in the early 1890s. He commanded the Chinese Battleship Zhen Yuan, and was severly wounded during the battle of the Yalu River. He eventually committed Suicide. I think he was my Great Grandfathers Uncle or add another Great.

Technically speaking, if that Qing really came from the past, it actually might win the battle. Afterall, the technological disadvantage isn't the reason why Qing failed. A younger, more energetic and vivide Qing dynasty with less corruption might make it possible to catch up in technology, like Japan did over a few decades. In fact the JP meiji restoration and CN self-strenghning movement both started in 1860s. So, yah, not trying to ruin your meme, but a younger Qing government from the past probably gonna work, if they actually time-travelled to 1860s.

Agree, the First Sino-Japanese War is barely recognized that sadly many people even call the second war the "Sino-Japanese War". I have always found the First Sino-Japanese War more fascinating to learn as this war alone has influenced and left a mark not only to Japan nor China but also the world. Everyone, except the Japanese, thought that the Chinese would win, similar to how the Imjin War would play out.
@GodzThirdLeg
@GodzThirdLeg 4 жыл бұрын
I am no historian, but the reason why WW1 isn't covered as much as WW2 is imho not that WW2 was bigger and deadlier instead its just that trench warfare is boring to talk about. WW2 and all the more modern wars were a lot more mobile than WW1 and wars before that were mostly decided by one or a few battles, so WW1 is this 4 year long constant battle that after the inital offensive came to a halt became super static. The first sino-japanese war on the other hand is mostly overlooked, because at the time western powers saw both Japan and China as uncivilized. It also gets overshadowed by the russo-japanese war 10 years later, which was a wake up call for western powers that japan was able to beat a western power. Sure they downplayed the Japanese victory a lot, because Japanese battleships were built by the british and stuff like that, but in the end they had to admit that Japan was now a player in the game of worldpowers.

During that time, there was a new religion has rise up in Joseon and it’s called Donghak(동학, 훗날 천도교로 개명) And the followers of Donghak uprise against the incompetent Joseon Dynasty to achieve equality and justice. This riot soon called the Donghak Peasant Uprising. The Joseon Government was incompetent that they didn’t cease the uprising by their own power. Because the corruption cause the lack of training and support. So, the incompetent King Gojing and corrupted Queen Myeongseong who call the Qing Empire to cease the uprising even the object of the ministers. They doing this even they know it all because they just want to keep their power. And Japan involves it because China violated the Treaty of Tianjin and this cause of the First Sino Japanese War.

When they fight over their interests Korea would be caught in the middle of all that, it wouldn't be hard for one of them to produce an excuse for intervention in Korean affairs.

Yeah there is whole long story behind that but yeah to put it simple, Daewongun made a realistic deal and political maneuver that would weaken the Andong Kim family that controlled royal palace behind weak kings, while securing his foothold within the palace and political scene. One of that move was to make his 12yr old son a step son of one of power queen within palace to secure legitimacy and claim to the throne, while he himself could still wield political power and authority as ‘daewongun’ a title that was originally given to deceased father of kings who weren’t monarch themselves.

Actually at the time of the First Sino-Japanese war Japan COULD have had battleships, but chose not to, since they were modelling their navy on a French doctrine of the time, that favored small, fast moving fleets, made up of torpedo boats and destroyers, supported by cruisers that was thought could destroy an enemy battlefleet with torpedo strikes and cripple their economy with commerce raiding. The theory didn't really pan out as expected, as while the Japanese did win decisive victories at sea, it was largely because the Qing fleet was so comically unprepared (Most of their shells for example were training round filled with porcelain and concrete) and it still took a lot of doing, since the Japanese had very few heavy units of their own. As a result, following the first Sino-Japanese war, Japan used its close diplomatic and trade links to Britain, to have an entire new Battlefleet of their own constructed in British shipyards, while they built up their own industries to be able to build their own ships in the future.

@@ruben4385 Japan at the time had a habit of looking at different European powers and trying to emulate their successes, but they were also quite realistic about this. While the Japanese would have recognised that Britain was the most powerful naval power in the world at the time, France was a clear second, and France was actually far more innovative in terms of both ship designs and naval tactics. For Japan, with limited shipbuilding capacity and a yet-to-be-trained naval officer corps, the French model probably looked far more feasible within the desired timeframe.

China in the 19th century was still a deeply divided country, along both cultural and religious lines. The Qing, being of Manchurian origin, were never quite respected by the Han majority, and if anything, the Qing's policies only made this division worse. There's a reason why after abolishing the monarchy, the new Chinese republic spent so much effort in trying to portray the different groups within China as belonging to a single national identity.

Let me get this straight, in 1592, Hideyoshi Toyotomi (Oda Nobunaga's successor) tried to invade Korea who was a tributary state of China's Ming Dynasty, and they sent soldiers to fend off against the Japanese invaders (Injim War). By the end of it, weakened China's Ming Dynasty, and the Jurchen's managed to take over and bring about the Qing Dynasty. 300 years later. The Japanese do the same to Korea but this time against the Qing ?? Did the Japanese feel the Qing owed them or something for helping them fight off Ming 300 years earlier ?
