How was the relation between Japan and Russia in 1904?
Russia and Japan fought a declared war from 1904-1905. The land battles fought near present day North Korea marked some of history's bloodest battles until World War 1. The naval battles fought in the Yellow Sea and Tsushima Straites were the first clash between modern steel built battleship fleets. The Battle of Tsushima (27 May 1905) was the only naval battle in history, in which modern steel "Battleship Fleets" fought a decisive sea action. The results of "Tsushima" led to Britain's building of HMS Dreadnaught in October of 1905 (launched in 1906); a battleship that led the world into a new "arms race" that led directly into WW1.

IJN Admiral Yamamoto had been a young Lieutenant during the decisive battleship fleet action at Tsushima against the Russians in 1905. Yamamoto's commander during that battle was Japan's greatest naval hero, Admiral Togo. The Battle of Tsushima (also known as the Battle of the Japan Sea) was the only decisive steel battleship fleet engagement ever fought (the Battle of Trafalgar 1805, was fought by wooden ships). Based upon Yamamoto's experience, he intended to repeat Admiral Togo's victory at Tsushima in 1905. Only this time it would be fought between Aircraft Carrier Fleets instead of battleships. Togo had brought the Russians to decisive battle. Yamamoto intended to bring the Americans to decisive battle...which he did by the way; only the results were different than he expected.
