As of November 2026, Japan at War has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Dan Carlin (Nov 2020). Cited as a source for understanding Japanese soldiers' experiences and training methods.

The First Sino-Japanese War, or the First China–Japan War, was a conflict between the Qing dynasty of China and the Empire of Japan primarily for influence over Korea. In Chinese it is commonly known as the Jiawu War. After over 6 months of unbroken successes by Japanese land and naval forces and the loss of the ports of Lüshunkou and Weihaiwei, the Qing government sued for peace in February 1895 and signed the unequal Treaty of Shimonoseki two months later, ending the war.
