Russian attack in Manchuria, Russo-Japanese War, 1904
Russian attack in Manchuria, 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, 30th October 1904

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment during the Russo-Japanese War in 1904. The conflict between Russia and Japan was fueled by their conflicting territorial ambitions in East Asia, particularly in Manchuria. The image depicts a Russian attack on Manchuria, showcasing the intense fighting that took place during this war. The Russo-Japanese War escalated when the Russians broke an agreement to withdraw troops from Manchuria. In response, the Japanese launched a relentless siege on Port Arthur, a city leased by Russia in Manchuria. After months of fierce battles and mounting casualties, Port Arthur finally surrendered in January 1905. The outcome of this war had far-reaching consequences as it led to Japan gaining effective control over Korea and significant portions of Manchuria. This victory for Japan can be attributed to both Russian commanders' incompetence and the decisive triumph of the Japanese navy at the Battle of Tsushima. In this illustration from Le Petit Journal dated October 30th, 1904, we witness soldiers engaged in hand-to-hand combat amidst trenches and artillery fire. It serves as a powerful reminder of the brutal realities faced by military personnel during trench warfare. This historic photograph is not just an art medium but also offers valuable insights into one of history's most significant conflicts. Its vivid colors bring to life an era marked by intense warfare and shifting power dynamics within East Asia.
