Did Japan have the strength to destroy China during the First Sino Japanese War? Thank you.

Simple use of extinguishing words, too general! It is clearer to rule or annex with total occupation or conquest. Putting aside the interests and interference of the European and American powers that razed and razed them, the gap between the national strength of the Qing Dynasty and the Japanese was not large, and in the era of great disparity more than 40 years later, the Japanese did not fully occupy it, but occupied most of the northeast, cities with increased communication lines in North China, and some other cities in East China and South China.

As for the higher meaning than the occupation, of course, it cannot be realized. In fact, if the Qing court was willing to move the capital to the end, it would not have been conquered in all wars from 1840 to 1900. The so-called decay of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was because there was a retreat from peace talks, and it was humiliating to lose power and humiliate the country, so it attracted the spitting of the people of the time and later generations.

In addition, when China faces foreign aggression, as long as it is willing to seriously resist, the Chinese people will not give in.

Fun and happy? At that time, the comprehensive national strength of the Japanese was not comparable to that of China. Even during World War II, whether or not China could be destroyed was one thing.

Japan was lucky to defeat Beiyang and defeated the Qing army in Liaodong, although the combat power was strong, but let me ask him if he could fight down? Will his chariot, that is, the national strength, and further ** let him fight? It's hard to say if it continues, let alone extinguish.

During World War II, Japan could not destroy China, and as far as Japan's army was concerned, it was okay to fight along the coast and rivers under the cover of the air force and navy, but if it wanted to penetrate deep into the interior, it was not even necessary to think about it.

I emptied the treasury, and I didn't have the strength to destroy China, and the military strength at that time had not yet reached the level of World War II.

With the ambition of the devil, if it weren't for the fact that the food couldn't keep up, it would be absolutely wiped out, and the army of the Qing Dynasty would be worried.

This question is meaningless, but I think that the Chinese people do not want to be enslaved by any ethnic group, and the imperial court cannot do it, and contribute on its own See Ethiopia for details.

Throughout the ages, there are basically no countries that can completely occupy China, and the only country that has this potential is Soviet Russia before World War II

No way. Refer to the first reason of the Japanese army, with the excellent sanitary conditions of the Qing country, how many locust troops can come and die.

Britain can't do it, let alone Japan, whether the Qing ** is willing to fight or not, that's another matter.

If Beijing has not been defeated, let alone the destruction of China, and it will be okay for the Eight-Nation Coalition to defeat Beijing and China.

No, in fact, at that time, Japan's treasury was already empty in order to fight the war.

The other powers will not sit idly by.

In terms of China's depth, little Japan will destroy China? Are you kidding?

1.The root cause of the First Sino-Japanese War: the need for the development of Japanese capitalism.

After the Meiji Restoration, Japan embarked on the road of capitalism. With the rise of military strength, the ambition of foreign aggression was born, and they tried to find a way out of foreign expansion. To this end, a "mainland policy" centered on China was formulated.

2.The direct cause of the First Sino-Japanese War: the uprising of the Donghak Party in Korea.

In the spring of 1894, a peasant uprising broke out in Korea, and North Korea asked China to send troops to help suppress it. When the Qing army entered Korea, Japan raided the Chinese Beiyang Fleet on July 25, provoking the Sino-Japanese War.

1.Lack of foresight: At the critical juncture when Japan was pouring all its strength into expanding its armaments and the danger of war was imminent, the Qing Dynasty instead relaxed its national defense construction, cut its military budget on the grounds of financial constraints, and stopped purchasing ** from 1888 onwards, and stopped allocating funds for equipment and ammunition for the navy in 1891.

2.Strategic reasons: Before provoking this war, Japan's wartime base camp formulated a "general operational policy" that took into account the overall planning of the navy and army.

Its strategic goal was to engage in a decisive battle with the Qing army on the Zhili Plain in China, defeat the Qing army, and force the Qing to submit. On the Chinese side, there was no clear strategic policy and operational plan before the war. In terms of strategic planning, Japan has already taken the lead.

3.Equipment disadvantage: In the Battle of the Yellow Sea in which the two sides fought for sea supremacy, the Qing army met the Japanese army with inferior forces (two ships of more than 3,000 tons and 10 ships of less than 3,000 tons, 8 ships of more than 3,000 tons and 4 ships of less than 3,000 tons).

Limited by the technical conditions at the time of manufacture, the effective firing distance of Beiyang is no more than 3,000 meters, while the effective firing range of Japan's Yoshino, which is equipped with a new rangefinder, can reach 5,000 meters. The Japanese army was also armed with new rapid-fire guns.

4.Partisan strife: In the late Qing Dynasty, the relationship between the Qing faction, led by Emperor Guangxu's mentor Weng Tongyi, and the Westernist faction led by Li Hongzhang deteriorated.

In order to limit Li Hongzhang's rights during the First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing faction invited Emperor Guangxu to transfer Li Bingheng, who had a conflict with Li Hongzhang, to serve as the governor of Shandong. Li Bingheng, a native of Liaoning, is a close friend of Weng Tongyi, and also belongs to the Qing Dynasty rumor, during the First Sino-Japanese War, he opposed Li Hongzhang everywhere, and all kinds of strange excuses did not send reinforcements, so that Liugong Island became an isolated island, and after experiencing tragic resistance, it finally fell.

This was because the cost of China for the First Sino-Japanese War was not enough, and it was also because the Qing Dynasty at that time was relatively decadent and declining, coupled with the concessions and compromises of the decision-making group at that time.

China's armament strength is not strong, the strength of the army is not strong, the army has no confidence, does not have a complete battle plan, and rushes to meet the battle.

Because at that time, the Qing ** did not pay enough attention to the military and responded passively to the war, and then it did not succeed.
