Jake, Eric, and Cameron open up this three-part series of the Russo-Japanese War with an in-depth discussion of both belligerents in the half-century leading up to the 1904-05 conflict.
Russia, in their quest to catch up to the rest of Western Europe, abolish serfdom and claim ports in the Pacific Ocean, while Japan emerges from a 200-year policy of isolation and begins a process of
Westernization and industrialization often called the Meiji Restoration.
And between these two growing powers lie Manchuria and Korea - for Russia they serve as access to a warm water port; for Japan, the first frontiers of their future empire.
