The "Battle of Tsushima", sometimes pronounced as "Sue-she-ma", or some people might pronounce it as "To-she-ma." Most historians most likely use the former pronunciation. The Tsushima Straits (where the battle occurred) is named after the island of Tsushima, which sits in the Straits. Some writing's state that the Japanese name, Tsushima; means "Donkey's Ears" in English. Some maps show the Tsushima Straits as the Korean Straits; which would also be accurate, as those straits do separate Japan from Korea. Whatever the name, the straits did offer the most direct route for the Russian battleship squadron to their port in Vladivstock; which is why the Russian Admiral chose to fight his way through it.
