Map 28.2 The Russo-Japanese War
The Russo-Japanese war focused on disputes
over Chinese territory. Japan had acquired the
Liaodong peninsula after its victory over China,
but Russia and others forced it out and then
maneuvered for territory of their own. Japan
proposed a split of Manchuria but assumed
negotiations would fail, and so attacked the
Russian fleet at Port Arthur, and later won over
Russian armies in China as well. A Russian fleet
sent from the Baltic was humiliated at
Tsushima Strait, which effectively ended the
war.

Five young Japanese men have arrived in
London with the aim of learning from English
and Western culture. Among them are Prince
Ito Hirobumi (1841–1909) (top right), who
would later go on to be prime minister of the
first Japanese cabinet government, and Marquis
Inouye (bottom left). "Study abroad" was a key
element in new levels of globalization.
