The Chinese army was defeated at P'yongyang and driven out of Korea. Chinese naval forces were defeated in numerous engagements, and the Japanese occupied the strategic naval base of Lushun (Port Arthur) on the Liaotung peninsula, Weihaiwei on the Shantung peninsula, and the island of Taiwan. China was forced to ask for negotiations, and in April of 1895 the treaty of Shimonoseki brought the war to a close.
