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 the Russian Far East Fleet at [[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]]. It also gave Japan a more respected reputation in [[Europe]].

President [[Theodore Roosevelt]] won the coveted [[Nobel Prize]] in 1906 for brokering the peace between Russia and Japan.
