Map of the Russo-Japanese War, 1904
Map of the Russo-Japanese War, 1904. The Russo-Japanese War arose due to the two countries conflicting territorial ambitions in East Asia. When the Russians reneged on an agreement to withdraw troops from Manchuria, the Japanese embarked on a lengthy siege of the Russian-leased city of Port Arthur in Manchuria. Port Arthur surrendered in January 1905, and a combination of incompetence on the part of Russian commanders and the decisive victory for the Japanese navy at the Battle of Tsushima forced the Russians to the negotiating table. The outcome of the war was Japan gaining effective control of Korea and much of Manchuria. An illustration from Le Petit Journal, 15th May 1904

The map serves as a visual representation of the intense conflict that arose between Russia and Japan due to their conflicting territorial ambitions in East Asia. It highlights the key locations and regions involved in this historic war. The Russo-Japanese War was ignited when Russia failed to honor an agreement to withdraw troops from Manchuria. In response, Japan launched a relentless siege on Port Arthur, a Russian-leased city in Manchuria. After months of fierce fighting, Port Arthur finally surrendered in January 1905.
