Answer: Sino-Japanese

Step-by-step explanation:

It is also known as the First Sino-Japanese War. The war demonstrated the power of the Qing dynasty to oppose superior Japan. During that period, Japan took over regional domination of the Far East. In the war, China lost Korea, which previously had a vassal status towards China. The end of the war brought a lot of turmoil and resentment in China, which led to the outbreak of the 1911 revolution.
