Question

First major colony of japan

Answer 1

Answer:

The first major colony Japan acquired was Taiwan, a large island off the coast of China, in 1895. The Japanese navy and army defeated the Qing army in the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and imposed a harsh peace treaty, the Treaty of Shimonoseki, in 1895. Among other demands, China had to cede Taiwan to the Japanese Empire. It was an early major step on the road of Japanese imperialism in Asia.
