The Russo-Japanese War and its Shaping of the Twentieth Century (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The Russo-Japanese War was in essence a colonial conflict between the expanding interests of Russia and Japan in East Asia. However, while appearing regional, the war itself in fact had a major global impact and this book makes a strong argument for the consideration of initially minor events in the analysis of global history. The conflict and Japanese victory stimulated the Russian revolutionary movement in 1905 and hence the Russian Revolution of 1917. In addition, the Peace Treaty of Portsmouth created a tension between the United States and Japan that would establish the starting point for the road directly leading to Pearl Harbor in 1941.
