Note: 
The map depicts the Liaodong peninsula, which was an important area of conflict during the First Sino-Japanese War (1894–1895), won by the Japanese. This defeat played a part in the decline of the Qing dynasty, exploited by colonial powers who extracted numerous concessions. The peninsula was ceded to Japan, along with Taiwan and Penghu, by the Treaty of Shimonoseki of 17 April 1895. However the ceding was rescinded after the Triple Intervention of 23 April 1895 by Russia, France and Germany. In the aftermath of this intervention, the Russian government pressured the Qing dynasty to lease Liaodong for use by the Russian Navy. Once again the Liaodong peninsula was the scene of major fighting in the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905). After the end of the Russo-Japanese War the Liaodong Peninsula leased territory was transferred to Japan.
