The Russo-Japanese War was a disaster for Russia in many senses - not just military. The Russo-Japanese War showed up Russia as it was - as a nation living on past glories and blind to the chronic problems that were developing in agriculture and industry.
 
The concept of diverting your people’s attention away from difficult domestic issues with a successful war is nothing new. In Russia, such a war was to have the opposite effect – the war against Japan was meant to rally the people around the Tsar in a display of patriotic fervour. Ultimately, it was to create a divide between Nicholas and his people.

Good stuff as always but I must point out that the term 'Jap' is considered a racist one by the Japanese (I'm married to one and have been told a few times) 

cheers

Hope no harm is done, that is a genuine mistake and has been put correct, more of a thing of lazy spelling than anything, trying to shorten my words, thats what Mancs do.

No harm done, just a friendly warning 

Keep the games coming though 

cheers
