Title: 14-year-old Korean youth Description: A 14-year-old Korean youth stands defiantly before soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army of occupation in Sunan, Korea, in March 1904, early in the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905); all the men of the village had fled, as did the women including the boy's wife, as Japanese troops advanced on the village near Seoul, Korea; the war resulted from a long-standing aggressive policy of Russian Czar Nicholas II (Nikolay Alexandrovich Romanov; May 18, 1868-July 17, 1918) in the Far East that led to friction with Japanese Emperor Mutsuhito (AKA: The Meiji Emperor or The Mikado; November 3, 1852-July 30, 1912); war began on February 10, 1904; Japan won several battles before U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt (October 27, 1858-January 6, 1919) mediated truce talks in 1905; Russia ceded to Japan the Liaodong Peninsula and the southern half of Sakhalin; Japan gained further interests in Korea and annexed the former kingdom in 1910; Russia and Japan promised to evacuate Manchuria in favor of China; two Japanese movies tell about the war: Emperor Meiji and the Great Russo-Japanese War (1957), and Battle of Japan Sea (1969); the demise of the czar and his family is told in Nicholas and Alexandra (1971 UK films); Category: Russo-Japanese War Keywords: army of occupation, Battle of Chemulpo, Korea, films, Imperial Japan, Imperial Japanese Army, Imperial Russia, Japan, Japanese Empire, Korea, Liaodong Peninsula, Manchuria, Manchurian Campaign (1904-1905), Motion pictures, movies, Mukden, Port Arthur, Manchuria, Korea, Ping Yang, Korea, Russia, Russian Empire, Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), Sunan, Korea, Yellow River, Yellow Sea, 1900s.
