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.
