What was the Treaty of Shimonoseki for, and why was the Treaty of Shimonoseki signed?

In the First Sino-Japanese War, the Beiyang Navy was annihilated, the gate of Beijing was opened, and the Qing Dynasty made peace with Japan, and Japan was at the end of the crossbow at this time, and the national control was empty, so the two sides signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki in Shimonoseki (Shimonoseki), Japan.
