What is the impact of the Russo Japanese War on China and even Asia?

During the Russo-Japanese War, Northeast China was the battlefield of land confrontation between the two sides, and the local people suffered great disasters and unprecedented catastrophes in their lives and property. Factories in Lushun were blown up, houses were blown up, and even temples were not spared. Cattle have been snatched up, food has been looted, and hundreds of thousands of refugees have been displaced.

Both Japan and Russia forcibly dragged the Chinese people to transport ammunition and labor for them, and many people died unjustly under the fire of the invaders of the two countries, and even a large number of Chinese civilians were used as spies by both Japan and Russia and were brutally killed. This war was not only a gross violation of China's territory and sovereignty, but also caused the people of Northeast China to suffer huge losses and personal losses in the war. It must be emphasized; This imperialist war of plundering on the territory of China and the DPRK has caused extremely grave disasters to the peoples of China and the DPRK.

The loss of people's lives and property cannot be calculated. As far as some parts of China's three eastern provinces are concerned, "from Lushun to the north to the inside and outside of the border wall, most of the places where the Russian and Japanese armies passed through were because of the food for the people." Sorghum is cut to be used as horse feed.

Thousands of miles long, almost the same as the red land. "There are 300 villages in Haicheng, Gaizhou, and 8,400 families have been victimized, with a total of more than 50,000 men and women. In the "Liaoyang Battlefield", there were no less than 30,000 refugees who fled into the provincial capital of Fengtian.

Wherever the beacons came, the villages were in ruins, and the small people migrated and cried on the road, numbering hundreds of thousands. Even the Japanese-run Shengjing Shibao (October 18, 1906) had to admit that the people of Northeast China were "caught in the rain of gunsmoke and bullets, and tens of thousands of people died in the thunderstorms. But it must be admitted that this war has its positive effect in terms of the situation in the world as a whole.

In his "General History of the World," the famous American historian Stavrianos expounded: In retrospect, this war was an important turning point in the history of the Far East and even in the history of the world. He believes that the significance of the war, in addition to establishing Japan's status as a great power, is more important: "For the first time in history, an Asian country defeated a European country, and it was a great empire."

This has had an exciting impact on the whole of Asia. It showed millions of colonial nations that the rulers of Europe were not divine and predestined. For the first time since the time of the conquerors, white people were defeated, and all non-white peoples across the globe were filled with exciting hope.

In this sense, he argues, "the Russo-Japanese War was a milestone in recent history, a prelude to the full awakening of non-European peoples; This awakening is shaking the world today. “

Russo-Japanese War. The impact is directly influenced for more than 100 years, and specifically:

Suppression of Tsarist Russia,Continental policy

At the end of the 19th century, Japan underwent a transformation and successfully entered imperialism.

times, began to realize its boundless ambitions, so the Chinese mainland, which is separated by water, has become the key to its mainland policyWhen Tsarist Russia finally took advantage of this time period to seize the opportunity of the former ant-wing imperialist powers to tear China apart, they ruthlessly took advantage of the boss in the northeast and northwest of China, and continued to be greedy.

As a result, Japan's continental policy and Tsarist Russia's interests in northeast China collided with one mountain and two tigers. WhileThe national strength is decliningClear**, but incapable of this, so the Russo-Japanese War, thisWorld War IThe rehearsal war broke out on Chinese soil.

You must know that once Japan, it can directly control Northeast China. If you turn the Northeast into your own colony, you can start from here, and you can use war to feed the warKorean PeninsulaFrom the sea, in the direction of the Bohai Sea. and by land,Shanhaiguandirection, which continued to threaten the Qing Empire.

Coerced Tsarist Russia to the north. Let Tsarist Russia lose the Far EastIce-free portThe control of the port cities along the coasts of Tianjin and Shandong by other powers will gradually enter the sphere of influence of Japanese imperialism. Even Beijing of the Qing Empire was directly exposed to the range of Japanese warships, laying the groundwork for the future invasion of Beijing.

Buried

The whip is out of reach, and the tiger repents of the legacy

At the same time,Japan competed with Tsarist Russia in Northeast China and finally obtained the "right to buy" the "first **" in Northeast China, and the impact on the United States was also obvious. This is because the other side of Japan to the east is the west coast of the United States. Therefore, when Japan was on the East Asian continent to obtain war resources and suppress the forces of Tsarist Russia in the Far East, the threat to the United States increased day by day.

It's just that relatively speaking, it will take time for the United States and Japan to face off directly in the Pacific. In view of the fact that at that time, the United States had not yet developed the national strength of the war funds of World War I, and for the sake of its own interests, the invasion of Japan in the Qing Empire could only be beyond the reach of the whip and raise tigers

It had a very significant impact, and it also had a very significant impact on China at that time, making China's political situation very unstable, and at the same time, it also led to some imbalances in the economic situation at that time.

It has had a very serious impact, and it has also led to the regression of our Chinese economy, and they have robbed us like robbers of a lot of our property. There is also the need for our country to remain in a passive state.

It has affected the social situation, affected the development of the country, made the country's economy backward, and made the lives of the Chinese people unstable.

As a result, some changes have taken place in the local economy of China's eastern Bikong North, and some changes have taken place in land control, people's lives are not very stable, and the country is not very stable.

Because the social, political, and economic conditions of China at that time were relatively backward, and Japan and Russia were unwilling to put the war in their own countries, they chose China, which was militarily weaker than them, as the location for the war.
