Who was in the wrong here?

Perfidious Albion

Since it was one Empire against another Empire, why care? The only good Imperialist is a dead one, and the R-J War was a good war.

H-how do you feel about the Roman Empire user?

>One wanted to expand
>The other wanted to expand

I chalk this up to "hate the game, not the player"

No one. Perhaps Russians could've been more eager to compromise.

Both were disregarding Korean and Chinese sovereignty, Russians were the more greedy and underhanded Japan was the underdog but probably would have done the same thing as Russia were it not so weak

Everyone

>Japan was the underdog
Didn't they have the better military though?

Probably the Russians, since they completely ignored the logistical impossibilities they were dealing with because "Eh, they're not white."

International coverage at the time was generally sympathetic to Japan simply because they were the perceived underdog.

The funny thing is that was literally the reason. Nicholas II also had a kind of irrational grudge against Japan because somebody there tried to assassinate him when he visited as a teenager.

Not really.
Their army was about the same quality as Russian (though Russians had shittier leadership), and their navy only raped Baltic Fleet retards, they weren't that impressive against original Pacific Squadron. On land, they suffered huge casualties.
Ultimately Russians lost because Manchuria is thousands of kilometers away from their core, and because of internal problems. And some idiotic/downright criminal decisions of some leaders.

Scum of the Earth, and a stain on the human Race.

also poor railroads

The army and officer corps leadership are antiquated
And the whole debacle was started anyway with the finance ministry dicking around making nips nervous about Korea

It's pretty funny how Willy was egging him on the whole time

There was an incident where a large group of Russian soldiers surrendered in a situation where they really didn't need to, and it ended up costing the Russians a vital port. This incident is what inspired Japan to start drilling "never retreat, never surrender" into every single recruit's skull as firmly as possible. Lots of the stuff Japan became known for in WW2 had its roots in this conflict. They used Russian behavior during the Russo-Japanese war as a primer for how they expected Americans to act in a war. The super-battleships Yamato and Musashi were inspired by the battle of Tushima Strait. Even the attack on Pearl Harbor was directly inspired by an incident during the Russo-Japanese war where a group of japanese destroyers were able to disable a bunch of Russian warships in a surprise attack.

An interesting fact is that the Japanese were actually very decent to the Russian POW's during this war because the Bushido autism hadn't taken root yet.

Honestly im going to have to side with the nips solely on the fact that I like animu.

>Expending this much effort on a fucking Polandball.
>Not even making the sword accurate as Meiji Period soldiers detested the Katana since they were on a westernizing binge.

A FUCKING SNAKE

Both for encroaching on each other's spheres of influence

Russia, Korea was obviously in Japan's natural sphere of influence.

Am I wrong or did the Russian fleet attack the British on accident enroute to japan?

it happened and the Brits shut the Russians off from the Suez Canal

Do you remember what it was called?

Dogger Bank Incident

t. Takashi Kamisuki

Japanese Empire >>> Russian Empire
So Russia.

It was not an accident. the Russian admiral,being paranoid about torpedo boats, misidentified a group of English fishing boats as the same and attacked them. Battleship admirals considered torpedo boats as cheating.

I feel the need to post pic related every time the Baltic fleet is mentioned.

t. Kim Oh Sung

The best summation I've heard of the Japanese overconfidence is from some turtledove book. "Shit, I can lick my grandma easy enough, but that doesn't mean I'm a tough guy.'

Any good fiction books or movies on the Russo-Japanese War such as Tairo written by Dov Silverman?

Bless you.

Anyone have that Canadian anti-rape poster where an Asian is bending over a black guy?

Nicky didn't actually want war, he expected those little gooks to back down

>Japanese and Russians fight literally the largest battle in world history at that point at Mukden
>Russians have 340,000 men and 1,200 big guns to Japan's 270,000 men and 1,000 big guns, giving the Russians a noticeable numerical advantage
>Japanese have no experience fighting a foreign enemy in modern war and just industrialized a few decades ago, meanwhile Russia has been fighting wars with neighboring powers non-stop in the previous decades
>Japanese annihilate the Russians and occupy all of southern Manchuria
why did people say Japan can't fight again?

That has more to do with why people say the Imperial Russian Army couldn't fight. Doesn't mean the japs could.

>Both were disregarding Korean and Chinese sovereignty
umm sweetie, russians were ruling chinese with chinese laws and enforcing them better than the chinese ""government""

It was a stalemate
Japs were tied down to their railroads and r*ssians soldiers were bogged down by their crappy leadership

>Russia managed to basically extinguish cultural divide in Asia
Oh nonono
Imagine if this was any other Tsar than n*cholas ii

read memoirs like human bullets

They had a more modern navy, better logistics due to the distance and ultimately leadership however the Russian army was vastly larger and better able to fund itself. Likewise Port Arthur was very defensible.

>umm sweetie, russians were ruling chinese with chinese laws and enforcing them better than the chinese ""government""
umm sweetums, that was only because Europeans had spent half a century undermining and corrupting Chinese rule.

To be fair the dynasty was rather long in the tooth and it was about time for a shakeup

Fucking roundeye scum i heard their woman have vertical vaginas

A shake up is a bit different than multiple wars to fracture the country and to enforce the legalisation of opium and a whole bunch of unequal treaties. One cant in good faith champion imperialism as the solution to the problems caused by imperialism.

Thanks

What did Montenegro do during the war?

Attached: me.png (2560x1280, 271K)

They were sailors, not sure about providing ships.
There's also a story of some guy defeating a jap in a katana duel and he got his sword as a prize.

Thanks for the laughs

I don't get it.

That's a Serb you imbecile

Serbs=Montenegrins mong

No you moron its Montenegrins=Serbs

This. The republic will forever be the true representation of Rome. Imperial Romaboos hold onto the short lived Pox Romana like it was their mother's tit.

He was hit by policeman for jaywalking.

They did, they mistook fishing boats in Europe for Japanese torpedo boats

Their skills at using their weapons were so bad they missed the fishing boats most of the time killing only three fishermen and hit their own ships a couple times

>sphere of influence
you should have said line of infulence
>There are two ways to secure national independence and defense. The first is to protect the line of sovereignty. The second is to protect the line of interest. The line of sovereignty means the nation's border and the line of interest includes the area closely related to the safety of the line of sovereignty. There is no country that does not try to defend both lines. Under the present circumstance, to maintain our independence and stand against the Western powers, defending the line of sovereignty is not enough. We need to protect our line of interest as well.
--Japanese PM Aritomo Yamagata 1890

how much of this really happened?

i dont understand this comic

>btfoing second rate European powers
>impressive
Even Germany had a better run.

All of it

most of that is just fanfiction from the world of tanks forums though

Wow. Nobody mentioned (((Jacob Schiff))) yet.

Chinks were sub-human, and were in need of western master race, deal with it.

You stupid fucktard. Japs suffered much higher casaulties than Russians here. Russia was actually still in adventage, and if it fought with FULL strenght, it would have curb-stomp sub-human Nips, just like it did in 1939 and 1945.

Funny, since in 1945 Slavic Russians literally Raped sub-human nips in Manchurian operation.

Chinks are more than OK. They are a hard workers and have high IQ. The exact opposite of blacks.

High Asian IQ is a fucking meme, stop posting it.

Cherry picked example.
East Asians have a high IQ. It's a fact. The japanese IQ is almost the double of the IQ of some african countries.

No, its not a cherrypicked example, you fucking retard. I can post 100x more. Chinks are sub-humans, just like japs.

Both are bad, but Chinks are fucking cancerous plague, which tries to destroy western civilization. Thank god for Trump Trade tarrifs. Chinks will crumble in time.

Don't say these mean things. They will be our allies in the war against the jews and shitskins.

it appears that way when they only test developed coastal cities, most asians are retarded

Shitskins are retarded. East Asians, Kikes and Whites are not.

East Asians are also retarded, they are Hive minded drones. I actually prefer Blacks to Chinks.

Russian Empire>>>>>>>>>>>>>Nip-subhuman ''Empire''

Slavic people were superior to Nips, face the facts. That was proven in 1945.

>there's no videos of whites doing dumb and or violent shit.

It's sad to know that there are racist people like you in the world.

No, not in such numbers you dumb fuck.

Oyyyy gevalt.

There are more chinks than whites. And there are more videos of blacks doing shit than whites qnd asians together.

No, whites are superior race to Chinks, and Chinks are inherently dumb animals, much more so that nigs.

He said chinks are like blacks.Why so much hatred against the chinks?

Because they are taking over (or trying to) our world?
