Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05 has been widely seen as a historical turning-point. For the first time in modern history an Asian and a European country competed on equal terms, overturning the prevailing balance of power. Based on a wide range of original source material in Russian, Japanese and other languages, this book goes beyond the military and international political grand narratives to examine the war's social, cultural, literary and intellectual impact in their historical context. In Japan the war reinforced the country's self-image as a 'coming' nation, while in Russia, combined with the revolution of 1905 and later political and social upheaval, it was seen as separating the old régime from the new. Throughout the world, 'spirit' was seen to be a decisive factor, and cultural considerations determined the war's interpretation. Featuring contributions by established scholars in the fields of military history and the history and literature of both Russia and Japan, this book offers for the first time a comparative perspective on the symbolic meaning of the conflict.
Download or read book Russo Japanese Relations 1905 17 written by Peter Berton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One surprising outcome of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905 was that, although Russia was humiliatingly defeated, by 1916 Russia and Japan had become allies. This book provides a detailed analysis of how this remarkable turnaround came about. It traces the evolution of relations between the two powers through the conclusion of three public and secret agreements in 1907, 1910, and 1912, and the controversial secret alliance of 1916. The book argues that careful examination of complete records of negotiations from both sides definitively proves the case for Germany, not the United States, as the target of the secret treaty. Based on meticulous examination of documents in both Russian and Japanese foreign policy archives, it charts diplomatic developments, explores how Japanese and Russian thinking evolved, and assesses the wider international impact of the new alliance.

This book was released on 2024-10-23 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines Japan’s relationships with China, Russia, the states of the Korean Peninsula, and Taiwan. Analyzing key points of conflict, their roots, and current relations, it highlights their significance for each country. Avoiding a focus on sensitive issues of the historical past per se, it provides a Russian perspective on their impact in Japan and neighboring states, their place in the domestic political discourse, the image of modern Japan in the eyes of political elites and the public and assesses the prospects for improving unfavorable mutual perceptions. Problems of the historical past remain a significant factor in the deterioration of Japan’s relations with China, South Korea, and Russia. Notions of national prestige and historical disputes appear with increasing frequency on the international political agenda in East Asia, driven largely by the economic and military rise of China and the changing military-political balance of power in the region. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of area studies and international relations, especially those specializing in East Asian Studies, Japanese studies, the politics of memory in IR, and problems of national identity.
Download or read book The Russian Push Toward Japan written by George Alexander Lensen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-27 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russian Push Toward Japan: Russo-Japanese Relations, 1697-1875 World War. As late as June, - Only two months before Russia plunged into the Far Eastern holocaust - a former prime minister of Japan and one-time ambassador to Moscow told the Soviet ambassa dor that if the Soviet Army and the Japanese Navy were to join forces, Japan and the Soviet Union together would become the strongest powers in the world. The Japanese attitude toward Russia today cannot be understood solely in terms of political and economic ideology. It has been shaped by centuries of intercourse between Russians and Japanese, dating back to l 697, the year of the first recorded encounter of a Japanese cast away and a Russian explorer. What were some of the lasting first impressions made by the Japanese and the Russians on each other? What was the nature of Russian pressure on Japan? Did a flourishing trade with Russia materialize after the opening of Japan or were Russian pleas for trade merely a cloak for more sinister designs? By whom was Russian policy toward Japan determined and how con sistent was this policy over the years? Questions such as these sug gested the need for a detailed narrative of early russo-japanese relations prior to a survey of dealings in the modern period.

Download or read book Japan and Russia written by William Nimmo and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1994-01-26 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nimmo examines Japanese and Russian attempts to resolve outstanding differences lingering since the end of World War II. He provides an in-depth analysis of Japanese efforts to regain control of the Northern Territories and explores attitudes of both Japanese and Russians at the grass roots level. As the end of the twentieth century approaches, lingering shadows of the devastating mid-century conflict witnessed in World War II are reflected in a territorial dispute between Japan and Russia over possession of the South Kurile Islands, known as the Northern Territories in Japan. For more than four decades, Kremlin leaders contended there was no territorial problem--the 1945 Yalta Agreement resolved the issue, they claimed--but Japan doggedly insisted the islands were Japanese territory. Yet, even with the major changes that have taken place since the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia and Japan have been unable to reach an agreement. Nimmo examines the attempts of the two countries and their statesmen to resolve their differences. He provides an in-depth analysis of Japanese efforts to regain control of the Northern Territories and explores attitudes of both Japanese and Russians at the grass roots level. Nimmo provides an overview of the historical perspectives while giving an extended examination of changing relationships in the post-1991 era. This book will be of interest to diplomatic and military historians, Japanese and Russian (Soviet) Studies scholars, and students of the contemporary East Asia.

Book excerpt: Ten years before the outbreak of World War I, Russian and Japan fought a war in the Far East that generated avid world interest and served as a prelude to the events of August 1914. Initiated by the Japanese with a naval attack against the unsuspecting Russian fleet at Port Arthur, the Russo-Japanese War erupted during a period of intense worldwide political, economic, and military uncertainty; moreover, all the major powers had either political or economic agreements with one or the other of the belligerents. Thus, the situation in the Far East in 1904-1905 was somewhat akin to the Middle East today. Keywords: Belligerents; Japan; Russia; Thesis. (CP).

Download or read book The Impact of the Russo Japanese War written by Rotem Kowner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-11-23 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book U S and Japanese Intervention in the Russian Civil War written by Paul J. Welch Behringer and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the U.S. and Japanese intervention in the Russian Civil War from 1918 to 1922. It assesses the civil war's impact on U.S.-Soviet-Japanese relations by integrating local, regional, and international perspectives of the conflict. Rather than emphasizing the intervention as the origins of the Cold War, the dissertation argues for analyzing this event in the context of its own time and place. It finds that the significance of U.S. and Japanese interference in the Russian Civil War lies in its effect on U.S.-Soviet-Japanese relations during the conflict and into the 1920s and 1930s. In particular, it demonstrates that strategies and perceptions of violence had a major impact on the civil war and the U.S-Soviet-Japanese triangular relationship.The dissertation is divided into three parts. The first four chapters cover U.S.-Russian-Japanese relations to 1918. In addition to describing the international context in which the Russian Revolution and Civil War erupted, this part of the dissertation contributes to the historiographical debate over U.S. President Woodrow Wilson's decision to intervene. It argues that his overarching goal was to prevent the dismemberment of the Russian Empire. Although Wilson preferred a non-Bolshevik alternative, he also failed to provide sustained support for either the Japanese or the anti-Bolshevik alternatives to Lenin's regime. Paradoxically, the commitment by Wilson (sustained by his successor, Warren G. Harding), eventually facilitated the Bolsheviks' reconstitution of the Russian Empire. The dissertation's second section focuses on the period of U.S. military intervention from the summer of 1918 to the spring of 1920. It argues that the violence of the Russian Civil War had a major impact on American perceptions of Russians and Japanese and that this affected U.S. policy toward Soviet Russia and Japan. In the end, U.S. officials fell back on explanations that fit into their suspicions that Russians (whether Bolshevik or anti-Bolshevik) and Japanese were uncivilized, prone to committing atrocities, and unworthy of American assistance and cooperation. In the Russian case, this meant reviving a long-term view of Russia as backward and prone to tyranny. This stereotype helped sustain the policy of nonrecognition of the Soviets throughout the 1920s. There were competing American stereotypes of Japanese prior to World War I. On the one hand, U.S. citizens in places with high levels of Japanese immigration continued to lump Japanese into the "yellow peril" and were strong advocates of exclusion. On the other hand, however, some American elites saw the Japanese as "honorary whites," the most civilized of all Asian peoples. The experience of the Siberian intervention demolished this latter, somewhat more positive stereotype. In its place, a more malevolent view of Japanese appeared-as a people prone to barbaric violence and duplicity. This perception helped pave the way for the 1924 immigration exclusion act that ended Japanese immigration to the United States. It also laid the groundwork for a dehumanized view of Japanese that fueled the brutality of the Pacific War from 1941-45. The dissertation's final part explores the period of Japanese occupation from 1920-22. It highlights the ways in which Japan's policy in Russia was connected to its concern about defending and expanding its empire. This section also demonstrates that strategies of violence are integral to understanding why the Bolsheviks won and the anti-Bolsheviks lost. It argues that, whereas the Bolsheviks focused on attacking state infrastructure, their opponents deployed a people-centric strategy aimed at rooting out ideological enemies. In doing so, the anti-Bolsheviks blurred the lines of ethnicity, criminality, and ideology, and were unable to secure territory under their command, instead fueling insurgency. In addition, the last section explains why the Soviet "buffer state" strategy successfully defeated Japan's own attempts to create a puppet in the Russian Far East. Finally, it demonstrates how the United States played an integral diplomatic role in securing Japanese evacuation from the region by convening the Washington Conference in 1921-22.
