[edit] Invasion

I don't think that it should be called an invasion.--Jerrypp772000 21:12, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Then what would you call it? Kc0616 13:39, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Why not something along the lines of Pacification of Taiwan, or perhaps merging it with the main Taiwan under Japanese rule article? Shinsengumi 21:44, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone want to rename this article? Serious, I don't really mind if people think the name does not go with the article. Kc0616 16:44, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't know what to rename it too, but I think it should be renamed because it's not an invasion. It's not because China ceded Taiwan to Japan prior to this event.--Jerry 23:50, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I have two suggestions. We can adopt an Western style name such as "War of 1895", or a direct translation from the Chinese name "Yiwei War" or "War of Yiwei." Either options would make sense since 乙未 is refering to the year of 1895. It may or may not be an invasion, but is a war. What do you think? Kc0616 08:25, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Let's just keep it as it is. War of 1895 would not make sense since there must have been many wars of 1895, the first sino-japanese war being one of them. Secondly, this is an encyclopedia, and we shouldn't make translations ourselves. Yiwei means absolutely nothing in English. Essentially this war was an continuation of the first sino-japanese war and should be treated as such. Blueshirts 18:07, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't think this war is as simple as a continuation of the First Sino-Japanese War, this war was fought AFTER the conclusion of First Sino-Japanese War, and by an armed force that did not participate BEFORE the signing of the treaty against another armed force that participate in both war. Kc0616 11:50, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Maybe "continuation" is not the best word choice here, but the war was a direct result of the first sino-japanese war. Blueshirts 20:07, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

That I agree. Can someone help me expand this article and any other related articles? Kc0616 13:20, 20 June 2007

[edit] List

Can someone sort out a list of battles of significance in chronological order? I'm really having problem with that. Kc0616 08:55, 21 June 2007
