1. Europe was under-going a naval arms race, the primary competitors were England, France, Russia, Italy, and Germany. All primary navies of the world had just recently switched from WOODEN warships to STEEL battleships in the 1880's; the US began with their "all steel navy" in about 1883. 2. Britain's leadership, Germany's leadership, and Nicholas of Russia were all related by blood (cousins). Of all the competitors listed in paragraph number (1), only Britain, Germany, and Russia were the real threats in the naval arms race. 3. Germany's Kaiser "goaded" his cousin "Nicky" (as he called him) into going to war with Japan. If Japan won, Russia would be eliminated as a competitor in Europe's naval arms race; and Germany had it's eye's set on challenging the world's traditional sea power-the British Empire! If Russia won, well...nothing was lost; at least the Kaiser would see how naval battles were fought (lessons learned) and he would simply be back where he started. 4. The goading process: Russia was expanding eastward; Russia had just completed building the Trans-Siberian Railroad; and Russia badly needed a year round (ice-free) seaport (for their battleships). 5. Tsar Nicholas wasn't very fond of the Japanese to begin with; he was a target of an assassination attempt during a visit there some years earlier, and sustained a sword wound during the attack.

Why did America go to war with japan in world war 2 it was because while japan and china were at war America decided to help out china and give them goods which cut off from china's supplys and lead?
Because Japan attacked Pearl Harbour and then declared war on the U.S.A. which in theroy, while not justifying anything, made every action of Japan illegal - a war crime.
What was Nicholas II's main reason for going to war with Japan?
His cousin, the Kaiser of Germany, helped convince Nicholas that he should go to war with Japan, and that Russia could easily defeat them. The Kaiser had other motives for goading his cousin "Nicky" into war with Japan; if Japan defeated Russia, this would eliminate Russia as a competitor in the Naval Arms Race going on in Europe in 1903. The Kaiser's main adversary was Britain, and Germany was intent on building a battleship fleet that could challenge the Royal Navy...which he would eventually accomplish during WW1. What Germany didn't need was competition from Russia...and war with Japan would solve that problem. Secondly, Russia was expanding east, just as the United States had expanded westward in the 1800's. Russia had constructed a railroad crossing the Eurasian continent; again, just as the US had done with the North American continental railroad in the 1860's. Third, Russia was urgently in need of a "ice-free" seaport, and the pacific coast line offered Port Arthur, near present day Korea; which was the scene of bitter battles during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. Nova Net Final Test Answer: To keep his people from rebelling against his government.Japan was starting to colonize around itself (it takes Korea, parts of China, ect) and It tried to take an island that belonged to Russia. So, Nicholas went to war with Japan, and lost terribly and half of the island was taken over by Japan.
