Throughout the period c. 1880-1914 the Russian Tsars encouraged pogroms (violence against Jews). In 1905, when the Russians were defeated by the Japanese in the Far East, the pogroms got worse. Moreover, the Tsarist regime blamed the Jews for Russia's defeat. During this period many Jews fled from Russia and settled in the U.S. and, in some cases, Britain.
