There were supply issues for the Russians, the trans-Siberian railroad was a causus bellum for the Japanese, but it cost the Russian government so much, corners were cut to save money, sometimes iron rather than steel rails were used, and wooden cross ties were stretched out too much, leading to failures and later weight limits which constricted supply Also, there was a supply officer before the war started or was considered a possibility, and had his position from a family connection to the Romanov's, that supplied black volcanic sand instead of black cannon powder, that led to some combat artillery failures Some rotten meat was also supplied at times, but that may have been poor handling rather than corruption A not so funny comedy of errors Comment from : Jacques LeFave

1885 was THE best year for all Moscow´s European colonies from Finland to Belarus ! Comment from : Adam Radziwill

The Russian commanders was just pathetic I think that's the country that lost more Wars than any other country in the world Comment from : Alberto Perez

Russia lost because it did not have intelligence and espionage structures, unlike the Japanese, who were assisted by the Americans, British, French, Germans and Chinese Well, they also lost because they underestimated the Japanese Comment from : ZDETS SHOW

I would like to propose an interesting clip to illustrate this very informative video:br wwwyoutubecom/watch?v=Tsh3xtFeprAbrbrThe music is a waltz (On the hills of Manchuria), composed in memory of the Battle of Mukden, and extremely popular in Russia ever since Comment from : Mariyana Dobreva

Thank you for this important information In a book by a Russian historian, I read interviews of Soviet soldiers about the campaign in Manchuria in 1945 I was surprised to see how deeply they were affected by the defeat in 1905 and resented it Many of them had lost a grandfather in this war and were eager to fight against Japan despite the long and exhausting war in Europe against Germany For sure, the Russo-Japanese war was a final blow to the already shattered authority of the Tsar who underestimated the Japanese Army In their turn, the Japanese underestimated the USSR and had a very nasty surprise in the Battle of Khalkhin Gol, in 1939 Comment from : Mariyana Dobreva

Another good vid Thank-you i have a old book called''A Photographic Record of The Russo-Japanese War'' has about 150-200 black and white photos Interresting, thank-you Comment from : tj johnson

With cost of “black gold” at 15-23 dollars per barrel, the USSR economy collapsed, and the sovok itself collapsed, and the "golden" horde (Muscovy) budget can only be fulfilled only with oil price at $ 424 and higher Comment from : Adam GTrapper

This was also the first time the attacker to defenders ratio went up from 3:1 to 5:1, (because of machine guns and barbed wire)brbrIt's a classic case of a larger underperfoming army getting out worked by a smaller overperforming armybr You see this dynamic happen in sports sometimes!

What's with the the fist on the preview? Looks like on of those cringey blm symbols Comment from : Алексей

The US saved Japan's ass by negotiating the Treaty of Portsmouth and they were totally ungrateful going forward Japan was near the absolute end of its strength when the war ended, and they had no way to extricate themselves (sort of like their ever-escalating war against China in the 1930s) Had the war dragged on for another year or two, Russia's massive manpower advantage would have eventually won Comment from : Arizona 4891

Japan claimed the US double dealt them and cheated them of a more comprehensive victory at Portsmouth They racialized this a a caucasian conspiracy against an Asian victor, an excuse for their 1941 attack on the US They did not fool anyone, Asian or Caucasian by their conduct Very few African Americans were involved As civilians they were interned, and a few others were military and naval prisoners I would be interested in African American memoirs of the Asia/Pacific theater of WWII Comment from : Tom Frazier

Lenin called the Revolution of 1905 "A dress rehearsal for the revolution of 1917" Comment from : David Blaskie

Good stuffeasily accessible history Adds so much to lifethank you! Comment from : Dan OConnell

At the end of the war Japan was heavily in debt and riots broke out in Japan because the country didnt receive any war reparations from Russia I consider Japanese victory a Pyrrhic victory Comment from : Mark12 Strang

The research put into this video was probably more than the research put into the Japanese situation by the Russian chief of staff Comment from : ареф нар

Imagine being in the russian navy and have to sail all the way around africa and up through the indian ocean just to get your ship shot up by the japanese, must have sucked to say the least Comment from : draug79

Did you say you are history teacher from Netherlands?brKom ik nu pas achter 😁 Comment from : Pieter van der Avoort

Nice Video! brOne point, it was not just Japanese desire for more, also the Czar tried to push into Korea - which was supposed to be in Japanese Sphere puppet - although that failed So as far as I can see, both sides pushed into the war - only the Japanese attacked first - and that was inspired by the British attack on the Danish fleet in Copenhagen by Nelson during the Napolianic wars Comment from : tommy14

this channel is so god tier underrated Comment from : Bajan Englishman

Good info and great research 👍 Comment from : X VSJ

I think that the writing was on the wall for the Russian fleet when they fired on "Japanese" boats in the North Sea These turned out to be British fishing boats brbrHowever it was not as mad as it sounds Virtually the entire Russian and Japanese fleets had actually been built on the shipyards of the Wear (pronounced "wee a") and Tyne in the north east of England Perhaps the Russians thought that Japanese crews were in England collecting new ships? Comment from : Dean Stuart

The British ships that you mentioned that were fired on were fishing boats in the North Sea The Russian Baltic Fleet believed they may have been Japanese Navy vessels! Quite a conclusion but demonstrates the competence of the Russians at the time Comment from : Tilly Tilford

Thank you, that was great and it showed me a piece of history I know very little about Comment from : John Sm

One can see why "Europe" was fucked, the Kaiser Willem, the other russian kaiser Nicholas II and British King George V were all related Think about it, virtually the whole of Europe as we know it and some more, was controled by 3 cousins Comment from : 66kbm

9:20 Small correction: the British didn't deny the Russian fleet access to the Suez canal - in fact, about half of the Russian fleet did go by that route (marked in red on your map) Comment from : bnipmnaa

I think you got one of the years wrong in the description I don't think the first sino-japanese war lasted until 1985 Comment from : Varma Krapula

Fun fact: in the summer of 1904 one of the leaders of the Polish Socialist Party, Józef Piłsudski arrived in Tokyo, to offer his services to the Japanese government and try to convince them to create Polish Legions (with Poles conscripted to the Russian army and taken captive as the main source of recruits) It didn't work out but it would be an amazing material for one of the episodes about military formations if it didbrbrDue to unrelated reasons, there are descendants of Bronisław Piłsudski (Józef's older brother) living in Japan but that is a whole another story Comment from : Artur M

These Russians, quality is the most important thingbrbrAlso a very good video Comment from : Piilx

Good stuff again As I understood it, this victory over the Russians gave the Japanese such a boost, that it gave them confidence to execute the attack at Pearl Harbour in 1941 Comment from : Frank Berkemeier

I wonder why Japanese attitude towards POW's changed so drastically in such a relatively short period Comment from : Jan Herbu Rodo

Great episode on one of the most important conflicts of the modern era It's worth remembering that during the Napoleonic wars Russia stretched from Central Europe not only to East Asia but to North America It was that huge Comment from : Włodzimierz Cieciura

I thought you were posting this tomorrow? brEdit: This was a great video! Very interesting Maybe a video also on the Sino Japanese war of 1895? Comment from : Luxembourgish Empire
