RUSSO-JAPANESE WAR
1904 - 1905


The Russo-Japanese War was won by Japan. Both countries were eager to dominate Korea and Manchuria.

On February 8, 1904, the Japanese attacked Port Arthur and thus started the war.

The Battle at Fu-hsien on June 14, 1904, and the Battle at Liao-yang on August 25, 1904, were part of the Russo-Japanese War. In both battles Russia was defeated.

Another battle was the Battle of Mukden February 19 to March 10, 1905, and the naval Battle of Tsushima, which was fought May 27–29, 1905. Both battles were again won by Japan.

The outcome was put on record with the Treaty of Portsmouth.
