Japan gained influence in nations such as Manchuria and Korea.

Explanation: Japan defeated Russia (1904–1905) and, by the Treaty of Portsmouth, secured control and influence over parts of Manchuria and dominant position in Korea (leading to later annexation). Japan did not formally add all of Manchuria to its territory, and Russia was weakened, not strengthened.
