The Russo-Japanese War was a military conflict fought between the Russian Empire and the Empire of Japan from 1904 to 1905. Much of the fighting took place in what is now northeastern China. The Russo-Japanese War was also a naval conflict, with ships exchanging fire in the waters surrounding the Korean peninsula. The brutal conflict in the western Pacific, which was resolved with the Treaty of Portsmouth, changed the balance of power in Asia and helped to set the stage for World War 1. https://www.history.com/topics/japan/russo-japanese-war
