00:04

by the first sino japanese war which was similar to

00:08

the second sino japanese war but far more stylish All

00:12

right here's your question What was the immediate cause of

00:15

the first sino japanese war and hear the potential answers

00:19

All right Well prior to the first sino japanese war

00:22

meggie japan was just beginning to enjoy its reputation as

00:26

a rising asian power And considering the china was the

00:29

big man on campus at the time it's no surprise

00:32

that japan had their sights set on him So was

00:34

a the immediate cause of the first sino japanese war

00:38

Well does it quick and easy No The start of

00:40

the war had nothing to do with japanese guest workers

00:43

so we can eliminate a right there on lee Everything

00:45

in life was so easy The taiping rebellion on the

00:52

was a civil war between southern china and the ruling

00:54

manchu ching dynasty led by emperor shang fang The fighting

00:59

lasted from eighteen Fifty two Eighteen Sixty four after rebellion

01:02

leader hong shi oh chuan claimed to be jesus brother

01:17

taiping rebellion in hopes of southern china toppling the all

01:20

powerful ching dynasty their support wasn't that much of a

01:23

concern to ching's though we can eliminate answer b and

01:27

while it's true that only twenty percent of japan's land

01:29

is arable or suitable for agricultural cultivation that's not our

01:33

answer either Now the real reason for the start of

01:35

the war was b japan New china was weakened after

01:38

its civil war and wanted to up their game by

01:40

exerting the most influence on korea and it worked The

01:44

war started in eighteen ninety for it After a series

01:46

of successes by the japanese etching leaders caved in sued

01:50

for peace a year later officially signaling the beginnings of

01:53

japan is the regional leader does what better way to
