Taiwan was given to Japan.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first Sino-Japanese War was a war between China and Japan. Japan was a rising power, and in order to achieve its imperialistic goals it was trying to create a conflict in which it can blame the other side, so that its attack is justified. This happened indeed, with the Japanese staging an attack on their businesses in China and using it to attack.

Japan was superior to China, and it managed to defeat it relatively easy in most of the battles. The end result was a peace treaty in which China lost territories, while Japan gained territories. The territories that were given to Japan were:

  • Korea
  • Taiwan
  • Liaodong Peninsula
  • Penghu
