THE FIRST SINO-JAPANESE WAR DOCUMENTARY - PART 1

The first Sino-Japanese war of 1894, which opposed the Qing dynasty and the Empire of Japan, was a turning point in history. In this first part of my First Sino-Japanese war documentary, I explain the events leading up to the conflict, such as the Imo Incident, Gaspin coup, and the Nagasaki Incident, as well as the first battles of Pungdo, Seonghwan and battle of Pyongyang.
