The map depicts the area during the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895) a conflict between the Qing dynasty of China and the Empire of Japan over influence in Joseon Korea. After more than six months of unbroken successes by Japanese land and naval forces and the loss of the port of Weihaiwei, the Qing government sued for peace in February 1895. For the first time, regional dominance in East Asia shifted from China to Japan. Legend includes railways (open, constructing, and surveyed), treaty ports, submarine cables, roads, engagements.
