5. Russo- Japanese War 1904-5Why did it start? Japan resented this Russian incursion as they were keen to expand their empire into China after winning a surprise victory in the Sino-Japanese war of 1894-5. Japan were more willing to engage Russia as they had signed a naval agreement with Britain in 1902. They were also buoyed by their victory over the Chinese. Nicholas II was keen to win a victory against a lesser power to increase his popularity amongst his subjects.
