“TheRusso-Japanese War (8February 1904– 5 September 1905) was \"the first greatwar of the 20th century.\" It grew out of rival imperialambitions of the RussianEmpire and the Empire of Japan over Manchuriaand Korea. The major theaters of operations were Southern Manchuria,specifically the area around the Liaodong Peninsula and Mukden; andthe seas around Korea, Japan, and the Yellow Sea.

Russia sought a warm water port on the Pacific Oceanas well as for maritime trade. Vladivostok was only operationalduring the summer season, butPort Arthur would be operational allyear. From the end of the first Sino-Japanese War and 1903,negotiations between Russia and Japan had proved impractical. Russiahad demonstrated an expansionist policy in Manchuria dating back tothe reign of Ivan of the Terrible in the 16th century. Japan offeredto recognize Russian dominance in Manchuria in exchange forrecognition of Korea as a Japanese sphere of influence. Russiarefused this, and demanded that Korea north of the 39th parallel be aneutral buffer zone between Russia and Japan. The Japanese governmentperceived a Russian threat to its strategic interests and chose to goto war. After the negotiations had broken down in 1904, the JapaneseNavy opened hostilities by attacking the Russian Eastern fleet atPort Arthur, a naval base in the Liaotung province leased to Russiaby China.”
