*''Dates: [[1894]]-[[1895]]''
*''Japanese'': 日清戦争 ''(Nisshin sensou)''
The Sino-Japanese War was the first full-out international war fought by the Meiji state. Like the [[Russo-Japanese War]] of ten years later, it was fought chiefly in Korea, and over which countries would be the chief power with political & economic influence in Korea.
The Japanese victory over China in this war is often cited as indicating, or representing, Japan's success in modernizing its military, and conversely, the failure of [[Qing Dynasty]] China to modernize sufficiently. Japan's acquisition of [[Taiwan]] as a colony as part of the treaty agreement ending the war is similarly often cited as marking the beginning of Japan's imperialist/colonialist Empire.
