19世末纪末,正值世界自由资本主义发展到顶点开始向帝国主义阶段过渡之时,日本于1894-1895年对中国发动了一场侵略性战争,即中日甲午战争,战争结果以中国失败被迫签订丧权辱国的《马关条约》而告结束。时过百年,重温这段历史,不能不得出这样的结论;甲午战争虽然是日本侵略中国的战争,但是它却和欧美资本主义开始进入帝国主义阶段并企图进一步瓜分中国密切相关。从甲午战争刚刚拉开序幕,到《马关条约》的签订,直至后来的“干涉还辽”,帝国主义列强之间始终是互相掣肘、互相利用,他们各自利益虽然不同,但目的只有一个─侵略中国,扩大自己的殖民统治势力。特别是有些帝国主义侵略者,他们虽然在中日甲午战争中没有直接向中国开战,但它们却以各种卑鄙的方式参与了这场战争。 At the end of the 19th century and the end of the 19th century, just as the development of free capitalism in the world culminated in the transition to the imperialist stage, Japan launched an aggressive war against China in 1894-1895, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. The defeat was forced to sign the “Treaty of Shimonoseki” that humiliated and humiliated the country. After a hundred years and revisiting the history, we can not but conclude that the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 was Japan’s war of aggression against China. However, it was closely linked to the beginning of the imperialist phase of capitalism in Europe and the United States in their attempt to further divide China. From the just beginning of the Sino-Japanese War to the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki and later “interference in the return of Liao,” the imperialist powers have always tried and used each other. Although their respective interests are different, they have only one purpose - Aggression against China and expansion of their own colonial and ruling forces. In particular, some imperialist aggressors, who did not go to China directly during the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, took part in various vile assaults on this war.
