Japan and China competed for influence in Korea.

Explanation:

• The first Sino-Japanese war was fought from 1 August 1894 to 17 April between the Japanese Empire on one side and imperial China under the Qing Dynasty on the other.

• The cause of the war was control over Korea, which at the time was nominally a tributary state of the Chinese Empire, but during which years a struggle ensued between two factions - conservative traditionalists who relied on China and reformists seeking to introduce the Western technology and institutions modeled on Japan at the time of the Meiji Revolution.
