BACKGROUND (Not Back-grind)
Japan invaded China in 1894 and won control of the Liaotung Peninsula (Sino-Japanese)
The European Powers, fearing a balance of power shift, intervened (The Triple Intervention) and pressured Japan to give it back to the Chinese
In 1898, Russia had got permission from China into granting it a lease for the strategically important port of Port Arthur (now Lü-shun)
In the process, Russia gained rights to extend the Trans-Siberian Railroad across Chinese-held Manchuria to the Russian seaport of Vladivostok, thus gaining control of an important strip of Manchurian territory.

I, Annelise, would like to apologize to my audience for getting off topic, this is not the first time that the wunderkind from rural Louisiana, USA has invaded my thoughts and strayed me from topic. - Annelise
More relevant backgroundJapan felt betrayed
Japan was in a large push to industrialize (and were doing so even faster than Russia)
Due to geography and geopolitics, Russian forces in the Far East were isolated
Guess Which one is me!?!?→→→
The War
In 1903, Russia chose not to withdraw its troops from Manchuria (as previously agreed upon), Japan decided it was time to attack
Japan went in strong and took over most of the peninsula quickly and decisively.
Russians were thrown off guard, and reinforcements coming from the east were too slow to get there (both land and sea)
Graphic images next…if you are squeamish, don’t look!!!
IMAGES of WAR!!!
War Ends
Military blunders and bad decisions led to the two main ground forces in Russia to surrender without consulting the TsarThe war was never popular in Russia in the First placePolitical unrest on the home front heightened (Bloody Sunday) in RussiaNaval battle near Vladivostok was won by the JapaneseTsar Nicolas II moves for negotiation
Treaty of Portsmouth
President Theodore Roosevelt of the United States served as mediator - Portsmouth, N.H., U.S. (Aug. 9-Sept. 5, 1905). Japan gained control of the Liaotung Peninsula (and Port Arthur) and the South Manchurian railroad (which led to Port Arthur) Russia agreed to evacuate southern Manchuria, which was restored to China Japan's control of Korea was recognized
Effects in Russia
“This ain’t no science expirement, Sami…we caint isolate no daggum control group here” Direct editorial quote from Annelise Sparsis. Source: Annelise Sparsis
BUT…Within two months of the treaty's signing, revolution compelled the Russian tsar Nicholas II to issue the October Manifesto, which was the equivalent of a constitutional charter
Is there a cause and effect relationship here?
