Russo-Japanese War (feb 8, 1904 – sep 5, 1905)
Description:
The Russo-Japanese War was a conflict between Russia and Japan over territorial control in Manchuria and Korea. Tensions arose as both nations sought to expand their influence in East Asia, with Russia looking to extend its empire and Japan seeking to assert itself as a regional power. Japan's decisive victory marked the first time an Asian power defeated a European empire, challenging the prevailing imperialist order. The war fits into the broader context of imperialism, as it highlighted the competition among global powers for dominance in Asia and the shifting dynamics of imperial rivalry in the early 20th century.Added to timeline:
