One of the reasons Japan was able to develop into a strong country in the 30 years since it started modernization was the high literacy rate in Japan during the Edo period. In the 1700s and 1800s, Japan had the highest literacy rate in the world, and both the rural samurai and the urban common people were highly educated. No wonder they understood Western technology so quickly that they became brilliant engineers and workers.

I swear the Russian military has two settings:<br>1. World-altering juggernaut of patriotism and ferocity<br>2. "What is this 'maintenance' and 'training' you speak of? The numbers on our clipboard are already perfect."

Imagine sailing 8 months around the world only to surrender and become a prisoner of war in the first battle, or worst still get killed at sea.

There are two ships from the Battle of Tsushima still around in the world. Admiral Togo's flagship, Mikasa, is in port in Yokosuka. It is the only pre-dreadnought battleship left in the world. Meanwhile, the Russian cruiser Avrora can be seen in St. Petersburg, though it gained fame a decade later when, according to legend, the firing of its guns after the crew mutinied marked the beginning of the October Revolution.

The Japanese transformation from a feudal/renissance era society to what was then a fairly modern one is absolutely one of the most striking and amazing transformations in human history. The fact that they beat Russia is even more incredible considering some 50 years prior they had no experience with any of the then modern technology with regards to military weaponary only makes it that much more strking.

Japan managing to modernize and become a major world power in such a short amount of time, is truly impressive.<br><br>Also the parallels between the attacks on Port Arthur and Pearl Harbor later on, are pretty obvious.

My great-grandfather took part in that war. He had been one of the defenders of Port Arthur, became a prisoner of war after General Stessel surrendered the fortress to the Japanese.<br>I still have some of the artifacts he brought back from captivity.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deuzVsKMsTA&t=250">4:10</a> Japan at that time was so obsessed with the British Navy that they even adapted their meals and that’s how curry became a popular among Japanese.

Several of the Japanese baftleships were built in Barrow-in-Furness. There are a few streets in Barrow with Jaranese names and a samuri sword donated to the town is on display at the town hall, which is regulary visited by japanese tourists.

OMG, this is my Grandpa's war. When the Russo-Japan War happened, he was a sailor of the Japanese Navy under Admiral Togo, specialized in decoding the Morse code of the enemy force caught in their transmission. That how he caught up and decoded the Russian Navy ships' communications for movements, and Japanese Navy won in the Battle of Port Arthur. Later he was given honorable medal and gifted a travel around Europe. It was his memorable story long long tome ago, even way before I was born. (I’m one of those Baby Boomers.)
