The '''Russo-Japanese War''' was a short conflict between the Empires of [[Russia]] and [[Japan]] from 1904-05. The two countries were competing over trade rights in [[Manchuria]] and [[Korea]]. The Japanese declared war and attacked [[Port Arthur]] (now Lüshun, [[China]]). The loss of the battle (and eventually the war) on the part of Russia reduced public support of [[Czar Nicholas II]]. The war's effects on Russia would contribute to the social turmoil that would culminate in the [[Russian Revolution]].
