Was just listening to Dan Carlin’s Supernova in the East part 1. It is quite telling how the Russo-Japanese was at the time. The former being atop-tier western power while the latter being an upstart Asian power. No doubt when Japan beat the Russians during their first wars, that image was changed forever.
