TREATY OF sHIMoNosEKI, 1895


The western nations woke up to the
fact that great power had appeared
in the East when in 1894 Japan de-
clared war on the vast empire or
China and speedily brought 1t to Its
knees. The realization that naval
and military power of the first class
had come into being on the western
shores of the Pacific was not pleas
ant one and caused n great fiuttering
among the "chancelleries" of Europe
and was not viewed without concern
in the United States.
1t was because of her war with
China and her subsequent war with
Russia that Japan occupies the posi-
ton she does today among the nations.
The treaty of Shimonoseki and the
treaty of Portsmouth placed her
among the leading nations OF the
world. The war between China and
Japan arose over the affairs of Korea
In the olden days Korea had paid
tribute to Japan and after the aboli-
tion of the Shogunate in 1868 and the
coming of the Mikado into his own.
repeated demands were made upon
tribute. Chinese and Japanese in
trigued at the Korean court for the
predominating influence in the land of
the morning calm and transformed ii
into a land which knew no calm.
Japan Alleged lnfraction.
In June of 1894 a Chinese army was
sent into Korea for the ostensible pur-
pose of putting down rebellion which
threatened the Korean king. Japan
declared this to be an infraction of
the treaty between herself and China
made in 1885 and dispatched Japan
ese army which occupied the Korean
capital and its port of Chemulpo. and
fortified the route connecting the two
cities. Somehow the rebellion disap-
peared, but the king of Korea found
Chinese army and a Japanese fac
ing each other in hostile guise upon
his territory and asked them to with
draw-which they refused to do. The
king appealed to the United States.
Mr. Gresham. secretary of state, ask
ed China and japan please to get out
OF Korea. China said she was per-
fectly willing to get out If Japan
would. Japan said she would not get
out until Korea had reformed her in
ternal affairs.
1t was evident that Japan meant
war. and on July 8, 1894, England
proposed thnt the United States join
with her In an Intervention to prevent
the war. The United States refused

Copyright. 1919. by

The British possession of Egypt is
something into which England "just
naturally drifted." The force of cir
cumstances was stronger than treaties
and diplomacy, and after the occupa-
ton of the country subsequent to the
Arabi Bey incident in 1882, England
found herself in the position of the
man who held the bear by both paws
around tree-it was more dangerous
to let go than to hold on. Yet up to
the recent proclamation of a British
protectorate over the land of the Nile
and the setting up of sultan inde-
pendent of Turkey following the sid
ing of the Khedive abbas with the
Germans, Egypt remained part of
the Turkish empire, vassal state
paying an annual tribute of $3,000,0OO
and governed nominally by a heredi-
tary vassal prince. II was governed
under the treaty of 1S41, which the
powers forced upon the sublime porte
and its victorious rebel governor of
Egypt, Mehemet Ali. BY this treaty
the western powers obtained their first
foothold in the land of the Pharaohs.
Mehemet All was a Turkish officer
who first went to Egypt in 1T99 as
commander of the forces. He did so
well in restoring order there that in
1905 the sultan appointed him gov
ernor. But Ali found his government
constantly threatened by the famous
Mamelukes, a cavalry corps of the
Egyptian army consisting of the de-
do tC nf
ish and other slaves sold by Genhiz
Khan to the Egyptian sultan in the
thirteenth century who, uniting in re-
volt in 1851, made themselves masters
of the country. The Turkish govern
ment overthrow the Mameluke govern
ment in 1917 and Egypt became a
Turkish province. But the military
caste of the Mamelukes was continued
as portion of the Egyptian army
until Ali's time.
Massacre of the Mamelukes.
In 1911, seeing that it was a Ques-
ton of survival between the Name
lukes and himself, Ali settled the mat
ter by a massacre of the Name
lukes. The citadel of Cairo was the
scene of the principal slaughter; the
Mamelukes were annihilated. Now
absolute master of Egypt, Mehemet
Ali threw off his Turkish allegiance
and conquered Syria in 1912. In
1889 he defeated the Turks in so many
engagements that it seemed as If his
banners were certain to wave in the
mosque of st. Sophia. The powers
took alarm. That old idea which for
so many centuries has prevented the
Turk from being driven out of Eu-
rope-the idea that the status quo at
Constantinople must not be disturbed,
lest the Turk being out of CONSTANT
nople, a general war should ensue for

and Ali was forced to give up Syria.
On January 80, 1S41, treaty was
concluded at Constantinople by which.
in return for the REIMBURSEMENT of
Syria and the renewal of his allegi-
ance to the sultan, Ali and his descend
ants were created hereditary rulers of

Egypt for Egyptians.
In 1881 appeared an Egyptian col
onel, Arab Bey, who started the cry
of Egypt for the Egyptians" He
overthrow the ministry of that year
and massacres of Europeans took
place in Cairo and Alexandria. He
was openly encouraged by the Turk
ish government which. even when
Arabi had flouted the authority of the
Khedive and, becoming minister of
war, placed himself at the head of an
armed revolt which swept the coun-
try refused to declare him a rebel.
He withdrew the budgets from the
French and British financial advisers
and manning the old forts and con-
structing new ones at Alexandria,
threatened the fleets of England,
France and the United States.
On July 10, 1882, the British ad-
miral demanded the cessation of hos
tile preparations and the delivery of
some of the forts into British hands
within "a hours, or he said he would
open fire. Cablegrams flew back and
forth between Alexandria and Europe.
and the British invited the French to
join with them in an intervention.
The French refused and the French
, fleet steamed out of the harbor for
Port Said. The American fleet with
drey.
AT a. m. the British fleet opened
fire. The engagement lasted until
noon by which time most of the forts
had been silenced. Fort Pharos fired
until four o'clock. The next morning
Arab asked for a truce which was
granted, and under cover of which he
escaped with his army from the city.
Seymour landed a force to restore or
der in the city, the American marines
landing also. A British expedition un-
der Sir Garnet Wolseley, was rushed
to Egypt, and Arab was crushingly
defeated at the battle of Tel-el-Kebir,
on September 13. Cairo surrendered
the next day. Arab was taken pris-
oner and exiled to Ceylon. The au-
thority of the Khedive was restored.
Upon advice of the British, he abo-
ished the Dual Control and appointed
| British financial adviser. Abbas
succeeded Tewfik and an Englishman
was appointed head of the Egyptian
army. The treaty of 1S41 was still
observed until Abbas declared for
Germany and fled to Austria, when
British protectorate was declared.

trial." and would join no other nation.
even in that interference.
On July 81 Japan declared war upon
the Celestial empire. The military
and naval supremacy of Japan at once
became startlingly apparent. A jap
anese army swept through Korea, and
advancing down the Liaotung penin-
sula, took Port Arthur. The Chinese
were driven out of southern Man
churia. The Japanese fleet destroyed
the Chinese fleet and captured Wei
hai-wei. AT the beginning of the war
the Chinese emperor had commanded
his generals: $50 drive me these pig
mics into the sea-" but now a Jap
anese army was ready to advance on
Peking. Everywhere China was utter
ly defeated.
Negotiated Four Weeks.
China thereupon authorized the
American minister at Pekin to trans
NIT direct to Japan a proposal for
peace. Japan agreed to receive Ii
Hung Chang as peace commissioner
He landed at Shimonoseki on March
49, 1895, where he was met by the
Marquis Ito, and after four weeks of
negotiation the treaty was signed on
April II. The complete independence
of Korea was recognized; the Lao.
tung peninsula, Formosa and the Pes.
cadores islands were ceded to Japan
and China agreed to pay war in,
demnity of two hundred million taels
open four new ports and grant spe
cial trade privilege to the victors
Korea had been occupied and crgan,
lied by Japan during the war and
though its complete independence haC
been guaranteed by the treaty Jap
anese influence was now supreme
there.
England was disturbed, German,
displeased and Russia angry an6
alarmed at the treaty of Shimonoseki
A great power had suddenly appeared
to threaten Russian possessions anC
block her aspiration on the Pacific
coast. The czar threateningly de
manded the retrocession to China OF
the Liaotung peninsula. Germany
and France backed up the demand OF
Russia. Had Russia been alone to be
considered. Japan might have thrown
down the gauntlet then as she did
later. But in the face of threats
from three powers. she dared not re
fuse, and gave up the best fruits OF
the war-whlch Russia stepped In and
grabbed for herself.
