The Sino-Japanese War of 1894 was a key turning point in Chinese history. Prior to this, the Qing government had successfully suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Nian Army, and the Agubai forces, and had achieved some success in the Westernization Movement, establishing the Xiang Army, the Huai Army, and the Beiyang Navy. The humiliating defeat of the Opium War seemed to be a thing of the past, and it was called "revival". However, all of these were defeated by the Japanese's more spirited and pragmatic spirit, more thorough reforms, smarter diplomacy, and more modernized army.
