Research Abstract

The Japan-China Tientsin Treaty of 1885(so called Ito-Li Convention) is well known in the history of Far Eastern international relations. But the estimation of this treaty is not affirmative. In China, most of researches insist that Tientsin treaty was a fatal mistake for China and beneficial to Japan to invade China and Korea. In Japan, many of researches also insist that Tientsin Treaty was a great great mistake for China and great triumph for Japan. Some of reseaches insist that Tientsin Treaty was a merely provisional and shortly became invalid. Lastly, in korea many reseaches insist that the Tientsin Treaty, it was a only Japan-China treaty on korea, before Japan-China war of 1894-95, was no meaning for Korea.
On the contrary, this thesis demonstrate following points.

2nd Japan's Claim of Japan-China joint Korean reform intervention derived from the above triple concord.
3rd, but Japan's claim was not acceptable to China and Britain.
