The <entity_0> (25 July 1894 – <entity_4>) was a conflict between the <entity_5> of China and the <entity_3> primarily over influence in Joseon <entity_11>. The <entity_13> demonstrated the failure of the <entity_5>'s attempts to modernize its military and fend off threats to its sovereignty, especially when compared with Japan's successful Meiji Restoration. For the first time, regional dominance in East <entity_12> shifted from China to Japan; the prestige of the <entity_5>, along with the classical tradition in China, suffered a major blow. In <entity_11>, where much of the <entity_13> took place, it is called the Qing–Japan War (Korean: 청일전쟁; Hanja: 淸日戰爭). In May, the Chinese had taken steps to prepare for the mobilization of their forces in the provinces of Zhili, <entity_8> and in <entity_7>, as a result of the tense situation on the Korean peninsula. But these actions were planned more as an armed demonstration to strengthen their position in <entity_11>, rather than as preparation for <entity_13> with Japan. The Beiyang Fleet was the dominant navy in East <entity_12> before the <entity_0>. The army's Fifth Division would land at Chemulpo on the western coast of <entity_11>, both to engage and push Chinese forces northwest up the peninsula and to draw the Beiyang Fleet into the <entity_6>, where it would be engaged in decisive battle. On <entity_9>, <entity_13> was officially declared between China and Japan. China recognized the total independence of <entity_11> and ceded the <entity_1>, <entity_10> and <entity_2> to Japan "in perpetuity". Japan asserts this move was taken independently of the treaty ending the <entity_13>, and China asserts that they were implied as part of the cession of <entity_10>. As a result of this <entity_13>, Japan started to have equal status with the powers of the West, and the victory established Japan as the dominant power in <entity_12>. Although Japan had achieved what it had set out to accomplish and ended Chinese influence over <entity_11>, Japan had been forced to relinquish the <entity_1>, (Port Arthur), in exchange for an increased financial indemnity. Although that infuriated the Japanese, they were more concerned with the Russian encroachment in <entity_11> than that in <entity_7>. Negotiations between the two nations (1901–1904) to establish mutual recognition of respective spheres of influence (Russia over <entity_7> and Japan over <entity_11>) were repeatedly and intentionally stalled by the Russians.
