Title: Sailors of the Imperial Japanese Navy Description: Sailors of the Imperial Japanese Navy going ashore in Chenampo, Korea, in early April 1904, to assist in landing supplies for the Imperial Japanese Army during the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905); 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: Battle of Chenampo, Korea, films, Imperial Japan, Imperial Japanese Navy, Imperial Russia, Japan, Japanese Empire, Korea, Liaodong Peninsula, Manchuria, Manchurian Campaign (1904-1905), Motion pictures, movies, Mukden, Port Arthur, Manchuria, Korea, Russia, Russian Empire, Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), Korea, sailors, ships, Yellow River, Yellow Sea, 1900s.
