Best Answer

The newly modernized Japan saw Korea as strategically and economically important and thus wanted to eliminate Chinese influence on the peninsula. The Chinese, who had long held control over Korea, did not want to lose their influence. The tipping point between the two nations came during the Tonghak Rebellion. At the request of the Korean emperor, China sent troops to the peninsula. Japan, in response, sent their own troops there, overthrew the pro-Chinese government, and replaced it with a pro-Japanese government.
