The Treaty of Shimonoseki, signed on April 17, 1895, marked the end of the First Sino-Japanese War. The Japanese obtained Taiwan, the Pescadores Islands, and the Liaodong Peninsula (which they later had to give up due to pressure from Russia, Germany, and France). They also received a large sum of money from China as war indemnity and gained greater international prestige. However, they did not obtain Beijing's Forbidden City, which is a historical palace complex and the symbolic center of Chinese culture and politics.
