Card 4 of 5 - Intervention. A cartoon interpretation of the Russo-Japanese war, acted out by the principal ruling individuals from the International Community.

Japan inflicted a series of stunning defeats on the Russian Navy, principally at Tsushima in May 1905.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) was a pivotal moment in world history, marked by the imperialist ambitions of the Russian Empire and Japan over Manchuria and Korea. This intriguing historical episode unfolded in the major theatres of Southern Manchuria and the seas around Korea, Japan, and the Yellow Sea. The war saw Japan inflict a series of significant defeats on the Russian Navy, most notably at the Battle of Tsushima in May 1905. In this satirical interpretation of the Russo-Japanese War, we witness a captivating cartoon depicting Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and the Japanese Emperor Meiji being forcibly pulled apart by the principal ruling figures from the International Community. The French, represented by President Émile Loubet, support the Russian cause, while the British monarch, King Edward VII, and Italian King Victor Emmanuel III back the Japanese. This intriguing image offers a unique perspective on the international intervention in the Russo-Japanese War. As the two emperors are torn apart, the underlying tensions and alliances between the major world powers come to the fore.

The Russo-Japanese War was a significant turning point in international relations, shaping the course of history for decades to come. This cartoon provides a fascinating glimpse into the minds of the ruling figures of the era and the intricate web of alliances and tensions that defined the early 20th century.
