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. 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. Eventually the war had a major impact on Germany, whose
diplomats wanted to use the war to bind St Petersburg to Berlin,
and whose military planners closely observed the events to prepare
themselves for the next possible conflict. This book makes a strong
argument for the consideration of initially minor events in the
analysis of global history. By describing and analyzing the
interrelationship between the events in East Asia and the major
developments in Europe and the United States, it shows the
significance of the Russo-Japanese War as a key factor in
determining the most momentous historical events of the twentieth
century: The First World War, the Second World War, and the Cold
War.
