China In War And Revolution, 1895-1949
by Peter Gue Zarrow
In 1895 the military forces of the Great Qing Empire were defeated by Japan. The stakes seemed modest - a struggle for supremacy in peripheral Korea - but the defeat prompted an explosion of radical reform proposals in China and the beginning of elite Chinese disillusionment with the Qing government.
