Japan’s triumph sent a shockwave through Russia... a psychological wound as devastating as the battlefield losses. Defeat at the hands of an Asian power shattered the empire’s confidence and exposed the weaknesses of its military. Meanwhile, Japan now held a strategic gateway, a fortified port that would fuel its next offensives. From here, men, weapons, and supplies would pour northward, driving deeper into Russian-held territory, pushing the enemy further toward collapse.

Port Arthur. June 1, 1904 - January 2, 1905.
Russian Forces: 40,000 Soldiers, 506 Guns.
Japanese Forces: 80,000 Soldiers, 474 Guns.
