In your opinion, is it appropriate to compare the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. with the Crimean War of 1853-1856? What historical analogies are found? How can you explain them?

It is possible to compare, despite the obvious differences associated with the prehistory of the conflict, the theater of operations and the peculiarities of the means of warfare.

Analogies can be as follows:

Both times, the bulk of the army was away from the theater of operations. In the Crimean War, the army defended the western borders from a possible blow from Prussia and Austria-Hungary, and in the Russo-Japanese war, troops were transferred to the Far East for a long time due to distances.
On both occasions, Russia’s adversary seemed relatively weak.
Both times there was an example of a long heroic defense (Sevastopol and Port Arthur).
In both wars, the army of the Russian Empire acted indecisively and was inferior in terms of armament characteristics.
Both wars hit the minds and spurred reforms.
