The Russo-Japanese War was the major conflict of the earliest
decade of the twentieth century. The struggle for mastery in
northeast Asia, specifically for control of Korea, was watched at
the time very closely by observers from many other countries keen
to draw lessons about the conduct of war in the modern industrial
age. The defeat of a traditional European power by a non-white,
non-western nation became a model for imitation and admiration
among people under, or threatened with, colonial rule.
Examining the wide impact of the war and exploring the effect on
the political balance in northeast Asia, this book focuses on the
reactions in Europe, the United States, East Asia and the wider
colonial world, considering the impact on different sections of
society, on political and cultural ideas and ideologies, and on
various national independence movements.
