RUSSO-JAPANESE WAR

This map from Beskrovni's atlas of Russian military history provides a view not found in the Encyclopedia Britannica entry. In the small box lower right is the course of the Russian Baltic Fleet around Africa to its fateful engagement at Tushima Strait. Above it is a small map showing the lesser known action on Sakhalin Island. The main map shows the Japanese landed both at Pusan in lower Korea and right on the Liaotung penninsula near Port Arthur.
