🌏 Setting the Scene: It's 1895. Japan and China have just concluded a war, and now it's time to decide what's what.
Treaty of Shimonoseki: Japan's Big Win! 🎉
Imagine Japan as a kid at a candy store, and China's been asked to hand over some sweets.
- Korea: China tells the world, "Korea's not mine!" (aka gives up all claims).
- $$$: China hands over a HUGE piggy bank with $230 million silver dollars to Japan. Think of it like buying the most expensive video game! (Worth $5 billion in 2016 terms)
- 🌟 Real-world Example: It's like if you broke someone's fancy toy, and now you have to pay for it.
- New Addresses for Japan
- Japan now owns Taiwan, a part of Manchuria called Liaodong (with a fancy place named Port Arthur), and some islands named Pescadores.
- Factories & Businesses: Japan can now set up shops and factories in many Chinese cities. It's like being allowed to set up lemonade stands anywhere they want!
- Open Sesame! Four cities - Chongqing, Hangzhou, Shaxi, and Suzhou - are like malls now open for Japanese business.
