1895年4月17日签订的马关条约，结束了第一次中日战争。条约由日方的伊藤博文和中方的李鸿章协商并签订。已饱受战争创伤的中国，又被加以苛刻的条款。马关条约结束了中国对于朝鲜的宗主权，使中方承认了朝鲜独立，同时迫使中国割让了台湾、澎湖列岛、旅顺港和辽东半岛给日本。日方还对中国强加以巨额赔款，并要求开放五个新的通商口岸。条约签订后的一周，由于俄、德、法三国的干涉，日本不情愿地宣布放弃辽东半岛和旅顺，而代之以要求中方增加额外的赔款。
His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, Count ITO Hirobumi, Junii, Grand Cross of the Imperial Order of Paullownia, Minister President of State; and Viscount MUTSU Munemitsu, Junii, First Class of the Imperial Order of the Sacred Treasure, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.
Treaty of Shimonoseki
2005年4月17日是马关条约签订110周年。110年前的今天，北洋大臣李鸿章在日本马关签订了《马关条约》(Treaty of Shimonoseki)，割让辽东半岛、台湾及澎湖列岛给日本；赔偿日本军费银二亿两……
Shimonoseki, Treaty of, Apr. 17, 1895, ending the First Sino-Japanese War. It was negotiated and signed by Ito Hirobumi for Japan and Li Hung-chang for China. Harsh terms were imposed on a badly defeated China. The treaty provided for the end of Chinese suzerainty over Korea, giving Korea independence, and for the cession to Japan of Taiwan, the Pescadores islands, and Port Arthur and the Liaodong peninsula. Japan also imposed a large indemnity and forced China to open five new treaty ports. A week after the treaty was signed, however, Russia, France, and Germany together—in the so-called Triple Intervention—demanded that Japan renounce claims to Port Arthur and the Liaodong peninsula. Japan reluctantly agreed (Nov., 1895), but China was forced to pay an additional indemnity.
This cession also includes all islands appertaining or belonging to the province of Fêngtien situated in the eastern portion of the Bay of Liao-tung and the northern portion of the Yellow Sea.
The line of demarcation begins at the mouth of the River Yalu and ascends that stream to the mouth of the River An-ping [Anping], from thence the line runs to Fêng-huang [Fenghuang], from thence to Hai-cheng [Haizheng?], from thence to Ying-kow [Yinzhou?], forming a line which describes the southern portion of the territory. The places above named are included in the ceded territory. When the line reaches the River Liao at Ying-kow, it follows the course of the stream to its mouth, where it terminates. The mid-channel of the River Liao shall be taken as the line of demarcation.
