World War I

Answer 1

1910

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empire of Japan gained control of Korea in 1910 after defeating Qing Dynasty in the First Sino-Japanese War (25 July 1894 - 17 April 1895). The Japanese forces literally destroyed and outclassed the Chinese army. The Russo-Japanese War also known as Zero World War lasted from 8 Feb 1904 - 5 September 1905. The Japanese shocked the world by defeating a major world power with ease. The Second Sino-Japanese War (7 July 1937 - 9 September 1945) was when the Empire of Japan invaded China properly in 1937 after invading and occupying Manchuria (1931) and renaming Manchuria into Manchukuo. World War I (28 July 1914 - 11:00 A.M. 11 November 1918) was the first global conflict between the Allied Powers and Central Powers. The major Allied Powers were the British Empire, France and Russian Empire. The major Central Powers were the Kaiser Reich, Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire. The result was victory for the Allied Powers, but Russia pulled out of the war in 1917, before the war ended.

Answer 2

the Russo-Japanese War

Step-by-step explanation:

The Russian-Japanese War of 1904-1905, caused by Russian and Japanese expansionism in the Far East, inflicted humiliating defeats on Russia at land and sea. The war contributed to domestic unrest in both countries, catalysing the revolution of 1905 in Russia. The rise of Japan also sent reverberations across the world.
