Tell me about the Russo-Japanese war Veeky Forums. I'm becoming very interested in it

most important consequences:

>contributed to colossal loss of prestige for Tsar Nicholas, portentous of the russian revolution
>Put Japan on the international stage, further cements their view of themselves as superior Asian race, and increases Japanese nationalism. "If I can whup ruushia, why not kankoku to taiwan desu ka?"

Nanking.

>広東に戻れ馬鹿野郎

should nihon pull a korea and get rid of kanji?

god no, kanji is a life-saver when it comes to reading

Was Tzar Nicholas popular with Russia before the war with Japan? To what extent did it damage his reputation?

a few days prior i found this thread with lots of historical pictures: paintings from both sides, propaganda and caricatures

no, not by any means. It showed the common man in Russia that any shred of greatness that Russia might have had on the international stage did not matter anymore as they could not even hold their own against the newly modernized Japan. Removed any reasonable doubt about Tsar Nicholas's ability to lead Russia to greatness, which is the only reason the average Russian would have been content to let him rule in the first place. Nicholas was also not very popular to begin with, and neither was his family. His wife was the one who was involved with Rasputin, and was notoriously "at least in the eyes of the Russian commoner" adulterous, so they naturally felt like their nation was being led by people who could not even exert control over their own lives let alone the fate of Russia

Take over German colonies in the Pacific and Asia. Escort some ships. Get immensely butthurt at the peace conference because the British, Australians, and Americans refuse to add a "Racial Equality Clause" in the peace treaty.

Japanese diplomats asked for it because they didn't want to be seen as inferior, didn't realise the scale and the impact that clause could have. There was a vote, they won, but Wilson said a unanimous vote was needed for something so important. This was widely reported back in Japan, and created anti-American and anti-British sentiment.

Damn, thanks for sharing this. This one of the reasons I hate Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson is such a piece of shit.

lol

>The Japanese media fully covered the progress of the conference, leading to an alienation of Japanese public opinion towards the United States of America, leading to broader conflicts later on.
You don't say.
I wonder what would have happened if Wilson and the other members had passed the proposal instead. I imagine they would have been vilified by their respective nations but we'd probably see them as heros nowadays.

japan didn't want manchuria, they wanted to have korea in it's sphere of influence before the trans-siberian railway was completed and the russians could bring full power to bear. they viewed korea as strategic dagger pointed at japan and wanted to neutralize it or if necessary bring under rule.

the whole manchuria thing got its start in this war true, but that was more an opportunistic grab during the war than the motivation behind actually starting it in the first place. the war went more successfully than japan's wildest expectations, so they demanded the port arthur area(kwantung leased territory) and a sphere of influence in southern manchuria including the branch of the CER(china eastern railway) that terminated in port arthur instead of continuing to vladivostok, and all the powers included with the CER.

CER was reorganized into a zaibatsu called the south manchuria railway (SMR). perfect tool for colonization and excerpting serious power. i don't think japan want to war looking for a colonial empire in manchuria but hey....smoke em if you got em right?

The Japanese had some cool uniforms in this war

>tfw Teddy was a massive russophobe and began the shift away from Alliance with Russia that ultimately led to an undercommitment of killing the reds in 1917

Tasty.

Did the Japanese do any of the really brutal things (decapitations, disembowelling etc) like they did in ww2 in this war?

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of Veeky Forums are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

Russians underestimated their opponents, remoteness was a big problem, and to be fair Japanese got lucky at some points (Makarov dies, Witgeft dies).
Despite memes it wasn't really as embarassing defeat as it's made out to be by people who don't know shit about it.

Well, the failure of it, the huge expenses wracked up during it and the subsequent 1905 revolution attempt were all embarrassing to the Russian crown.

someone post the greentext about the shitheap russian navy

No. When the russian sailors were POWs in japan, after they got released everyone got a small bag with 3 different sorts of tea as a farewell gift. The officers went for bicycle rides around the countryside.

And this is after the Battle of Tsushima, so basically it's not that many decaded after this when POWs start gettin' vivisected and shit

>you will never be a Japanese POW during the Russian-Japanese war and get free tea and pleasant bicycle rides and walks

The Russo-Japanese War was the height of Imperial Japanese glory and an inspiration to all Asians. It's just that Japan went full retard after defeating declining Chinese and Russian empires which led to a wrong assessment of their own potential.
