First Sino-Japanese War - Starting Preparations For The Capture of Taiwan

Time: Wednesday Mar 6, 1895

Place: Sasebo, Nagasaki, Japan

Details: the Japanese had begun preparations for the capture of Taiwan. However, the first operation would be directed not against the island itself, but against the Pescadores Islands, which due to their strategic position off the west coast would become a stepping stone for further operations against the island. On March 6, a Japanese expeditionary force consisting of a reinforced infantry regiment with 2,800 troops and an artillery battery were embarked on five transports, sailed from Ujina to Sasebo, arriving there three days later.
