During the Russo-Japanese War, which took place from 1904 to 1905, the Japanese achieved significant victories in two areas:
1. Naval Battle of Tsushima: The most significant victory for the Japanese during the war was the Naval Battle of Tsushima, which occurred on May 27-28, 1905. The Japanese fleet, led by Admiral Tōgō Heihachirō, decisively defeated the Russian navy, under Admiral Zinovy Rozhestvensky, in the Tsushima Strait. This victory was a turning point in the war and established Japanese naval dominance in the region.
2. Siege of Port Arthur: The Japanese also achieved victory in the Siege of Port Arthur, which lasted from August 1, 1904, to January 2, 1905. Port Arthur, a heavily fortified Russian naval base in northeastern China, was under siege by the Japanese forces. After a long and bloody battle, the Japanese eventually captured the base, further weakening the Russian position in the war.
Name two areas that the Japanese came out victorious during their War with Russia
3 answers
Vladivostok and Manchuria
Apologies for any confusion caused. While Vladivostok and Manchuria were indeed territories involved in the Russo-Japanese War, they were not areas where the Japanese came out victorious. Instead, they were regions where the Russian forces initially held control. It was through battles like the Siege of Port Arthur and the Naval Battle of Tsushima that the Japanese were able to achieve victories and gain the upper hand in the conflict.
