The reasons and significance of the Russo-Japanese War for Russia.

The militarists of the Japanese Empire, who came to power at the end of the 19th century, actively began to interfere in the affairs of neighboring countries, in particular, Japan had interests in China and Korea. At the same time, the Russian Empire showed interest in the Far East, which began to develop these territories for its own purposes.

The interests of the two countries collided, and the Russo-Japanese War began, which led to the purge of military personnel in the First Russian Revolution and raised the question of the need to develop the eastern territories of our state.
