feb 8, 1904 - War with Japan
Description:
These three major defeats convinced Russia that further resistance against Japan’s imperial designs for East Asia was hopeless. Japan emerged from the conflict as the first modern non-Western world power and set its sights on greater imperial expansion. However, for Russia, its military’s disastrous performance in the war was one of the immediate causes of the Russian Revolution of 1905.
