Opis

The Russo-Japanese War was in essence a colonial conflict between the expanding interests of Russia and Japan in East Asia. However, while appearing regional, the war itself in fact had a major global impact and this book makes a strong argument for the consideration of initially minor events in the analysis of global history.
