What were the results of the russo-japanese war of 1904-1905?

Answer 1

1. Removal of Russia as a major player in Europe's Naval Arm's Race. Leaving only Germany to have to contend with Great Britain. France & Italy were not considered threats at the time. 2. Japan became a world power; thus setting the stage for WW2. 3. The launching of HMS Dreadnaught, starting a new world arm's race amongst industrialized nations (formally called "civilized nations"). 4. A Nobel Prize for US President Teddy Roosevelt for mediating an end to the war.

Answer 2
