Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Japan replaced China as the dominant power in East Asia by 1899. This was largely due to Japan's modernization efforts following the Meiji Restoration in 1868, which allowed them to become a major industrial and military power in the region. Japan's victory in the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895) also demonstrated their military strength and further solidified their position as the dominant power in East Asia.
