@@AbrahamLincoln4 samurai never truly gone. Most of leaders of japanese navy and army were all from samurai class. Satsuma are mostly on navy and chosu mostly on the army. To these day at least 10% of total japanese population had links or direct descendant of samurai warriors.
These were the men who broke the pathetic feudal elite, and now held up the samurai legend through state propaganda, to serve the machine of expansion and reform. The spirit of the samurai more than lived on. Beneath the veil of a feudal warrior code resided something even greater and more terrible. The Japanese conscript soldiers became in mass reality what the samurai were in exaggerated old stories. Their rapid development is one of the greatest successes of any society in world history.
@@chrismoreno7181 Actually, the Japanese army hierarchy mostly came from the peasant class, while the samurai class dominated the navy. It was the big reason why the IJA and IJN despised each other.
Fun fact: The Japanese defeat of the Russians was considered an exciting development for many intellectuals and statesmen who thought and worried about the "fall" of the Ottoman Empire. Let me give an example to understand the effect of this wave of excitement on the Ottoman Empire. The name of the victorious admiral of the Japanese is Togo. At that time, many children in Ottoman lands, especially in Istanbul, were called "togo". The source of "zeki hikmatullah togo", the name of the second child of Halide Adıvar(turkish writer), is this war and the victorious admiral of this war, Togo. This war excited Halide and Adıvar, and clever Hikmatullah was called "togo" like other boys born in his neighborhood at that time.
@@dingleberry4234 Cause the ottoman empire was an ailing empire dying of corruption and the inability to industrialize. So when an oriental empire that just industrialized in less then a generation managed beat your main rival. You too would see this as a good thing and try to copy or at least cheer them on to beat the Russians ass harder so you have a chance of reclaiming power in the Balkans and caucuses.
If you call fighting a civil war and breaking away with traditionally values a very successful reformation, then yh. They went from a nation that kept to itself after the failed Korean invasion, to an Imperial power that almost conquered the Pacific and Asia.
And then they let the war with Russia go to their heads. Their victory changed the way they looked at themselves and the rest of the world. After this they became more assertive and aggressive, believing they were as good if not better than the West. All of this led to their defeat in WWII.
It's been my opinion too if they had lost about half their fleet @ Tsushima they wouldn't be so aggressive about it. The Japanese warrior culture (however tamed) has always been about being assertive and aggressive to get ahead, it's how they survived until then. The way I see it, Admiral Perry forcing Japan to open up to the West is the direct cause of the misery to follow in the next 70-80 years. Also that except the whole Imperial thing they came out of forced opening > civilized nation in 20 years (and a formidable fighting force in 30) incredibly fast, and now they are peacefully prospering. The weird thing is that suddenly that's bad too according to some political... spectrums :)
The Russians actually barely had a chance. The fleet they were using was actually outdated,badly supplied and had already traveled across the entire world. The Japanese on the other hand were using a brand new fleet that was basically top of the line ,British constructed and well drilled. It was one of the things that showed how far the Russians had slipped.
@@Potatotenkopf it shows both. Yes Japan industrialized in amazing haste but Russia was a great power for many years and this war just showed how much they began to lack.
The Russian had Some modern protected cruisers about 4 or 5 modern battleships but their crew is another story.. The only ship that have excellent crew and gunnery is the Armored cruiser Aurora
It was the first time a European type enemy was defeated by an Asian nation in the modern era, one thing not shown in this video is that Japan invented a new type of explosive charge that it used during this battle, it was invented by engineer Masachika Shimose of the imperial Japanese navy. It was used to great effect against the Russians and was the highest powered explosive at the time. Here is a quote from the Russian Colonel after experiencing the attacks. "I experienced most of the mortars and Shimose powder once, but this is a completely new invention. It is suspected that what is inside the ship and falls on the deck is not a shell, but a torpedo. This powerful shell explodes as soon as you touch something. Those protruding above the iron plate and upper deck on the ship's side become fine dust, which injures people and the iron ladder bends in a bay shape and the cannon that is fixed bends from the root. Such work is by no means dependent on the striking force of the bullet, but entirely on its explosive force." Despite Japan winning, the USA didn't like seeing a non European type people defeating other European looking people, and thus America basically came in forced Japan to sign a treaty to end the war with Russia. So the USA literally saved Russia in this war. The Japanese became even more militarist as a result of this, because they didn't like how the USA robbed them of further success.
Ironic considering it was the USA that forced them (Japan) to open up and modernize in the first place. USA often makes its own enemies and turns them into monsters it seems.
Yeah can all be traced back to the U.S, they had huge interests in Asia and thought to include Japan in that sphere of influence, and well.. it backfired.

Amazingly, one particular sailor lost two fingers. One more loss of a digit would have invalided him out of the Navy. His name... was Yamamoto. Yes. That same Yamamoto who later served against Pearl Harbour.
Thanks for that bit of info mate. Yamamoto himself at Tsushima. He is of the generation that tasted the sweet nectar of victory during that time and tried to carry on the tradition of Admiral Togo into the Japanese Navy of the 1930s and into the 1940s. Wouldn't be around anymore to witness though its complete and utter destruction in 1944 and 1945.
Some time after the war, the Japanese held a garden party to celebrate their victory. Some newly graduated naval officers from the visiting battleship USS Ohio were also invited to the party. One of them invited Admiral Togo to their table. They had a pleasant chat and the experience left a lasting impression on the young midshipman. His name was Chester Nimitz.
@@inigobantok1579 No more than the rest of the IJN's command. Decisive battle doctrine was deeply ingrained in their history. Yamamoto, while a daring gambler and a capable administrator (as well as an effective politician) wasn't a terribly innovative thinker (other than his early - and frankly opportunistic - grasp of air fleets as strike forces), so the notion of him being a maverick (with relation to his embrace of the Decisive Battle(tm)) really just doesn't strike me as credible.

@@mustard4762 Actually, the admiral (I know his name, but it's practically the size of Russia itself) was a very capable, efficient and intelligent man, if impatient and irritable, but given the ABSURD levels of incompetency displayed by most of the fleet's crew, you could not blame him. Look up Drachinifel's video on the Second Pacific Squadron for a full recap of the events leading up to this battle.
While Tsushima was a completely lopsided victory for the Japanese Navy, the land battle of the Siege of Port Arthur was extremely costly for the Japanese Army with 57,000 casualties (although it was later found out most were due to illness -- vitamin B deficiency, which was absent from the Navy). So much so that General Nogi requested Emperor Meiji to allow him to commit seppuku in atonement.
@@yatsumleung8618yeah people remember the Russo-Japanese war as a complete blowout of the Russians but the Japanese army actually suffered higher casualties than the Russians(excluding captured soldiers), the Russian army was perfectly capable of fighting head on battles against the Japanese army and coming out ahead(these battles often resulting in absurdly high casualties for the Japanese that tended to engage in risky frontal assaults) but the higher leadership of the Japanese army was far more competent than the Russians, where the Russians consistently chose to defend the wrong areas and leave their flanks open the Japanese high commanders would see the failures of initial frontal assaults carried out by over-eager lower officers and direct troops into flanking assaults into the gaps left open by the incompetent Russian generals. Also the naval war before the battle of Tsushima was fairly balanced with the Russian Pacific fleet coming out slightly the worse largely due to being confined in their ports well by the Japanese efforts, unable to escape their port confines without risking hitting mines, though the real death knell for the Russian Pacific fleet was the loss of Port Arthur.

One of the keys to the Japanese victory at Tsushima was Admiral Togo's deployment of picket boats equipped with wireless transmitters, which relayed information in real-time to the Admiral on the approach of the Russian fleet.
If Japan lost this war, it would be a perishing situation, with the men becoming slaves and the women becoming comfort women or prostitutes. On the other hand, even if Russia lost, it would only lose a small amount of territory. The morale of the soldiers was completely different.

besides that decisive is a broad term, wouldn't you say that the battle of the north cape was decisive?

Its different condition, russia basically outnumbered in total ship but not in firepower, but russian fleet was tired from long journey and relatively poor trained due rushed to sea while japan has experience and good condition, while in battle of samar japan great firepower was useless due didn't have fire control like allied and remember it was era of airplane so yeah end age for ship full naval gun
Yeah basically battle of samar ( campaign of leyte gulf) was already known who is won the battle, US fleet and some allied ship have more than 300 ship while japanese just under 80 and many of them unequipped with fire control unlike their counterpart and have more experience due good rotation and best of damage control
Togo won in tsushima and other naval battle due happen its happen in sea of japan (its like playing in backyard) while russian navy get separated, so japan just using strategi defeat in detail, if japan was sending their navy to europe even get help from british port, i doubt they didn't get slaughtered like russia in tsushima, it was already doomed for baltic fleet sailing to far east

Which get loose Oh, and they buy opium cigarettes. Then they get to Tsushima and are completely obliterated. I’m only skimming the surface, look it up. It’s fuckin hilarious. Russia never changes
For over 200 years the Dutch were the only western nation that was allowed to trade with Japan. The Japanese also gained a lot of knowledge through the Dutch. Also the the first modern Japanese ships (steamships) came from The Netherlands. The first modern Japanese naval training was also conducted by the Dutch.
Then Japanese started getting all their vessels build in Britain and their crews trained by the Royal Navy weirdly even to this day Japan heavily values its relationship with the Royal Navy.
This battle and loss of the Russian fleet had a MAJOR effect and contributed a lot for the 1905 and 1917. revolutions and ultimately birth of Soviet Union. (cruiser Aurora took part of this battle)

If anyone is interested, there are such books "Tsushima" (Novikov-Priboy) and "On the "Еagle" in Tsushima" (Kostenko). Both are written by participants in this battle and contain a lot of interesting information.
Fascinating. Are there Japanese accounts as well? I have found it most enjoyable to read both sides of battles, as it gives fascinating new angles of thought.
This battle made one empire and broke the other. With the loss, Russian opinion of the Tsar and the Imperial Government was shattered forever. With the victory, Japan was hurled into a golden age of naval design and imperial expansion.
Except that it was Japan that attacked Russia without declaration of war. So, more like: when you think that small empire near your borders have no good fleet, but then they attack you and destroy all of your ships.
the russian ships had plastered themselves in thick canvas that would have been effective against the ap at the time, but they were not expecting the Japanese to use shimose shells that act a lot like napalm.
"Powerful Russian fleet" Is this the same powerful, Russian fleet that thought fishing boats off the coast of Britain were Japanese torpedo boats, fired 300 shells, and only managed to sink one of them? The same fleet that fired on it's own ships (and missed) during that same fight?
Russia needed to be propagandized (still to this day) as a leading naval power that Japan (a British treaty ally whose battleships were even built in Britain) humiliated in what was practically a proxy war. Maybe the British were still sour about their mediocre allied victory in the Crimean War.
@@tritium1998 Yeah you keep spreading those lies Russia boy, you lost the Crimean war and the Russo-Japanese War, your Navy was an embarrassment seriously.
The comically woeful seamanship and obsolescence of almost the entire Russian fleet and its Odyssean magnitude of travails on their long journey before ever confronting Japan pretty much ensured their defeat before they ever engaged. Their journey is absolutely worth finding out about and there are some great videos on UA-cam that discuss the jaw-dropping misfortunes and inept seamen and officers their admiral confronted along the way.
Seems Russia having its armies beaten by a smaller power seems to be a new repeating pattern for them apparently. Smaller power tends to have advanced stuff too. Russia- Japanese conflict. Japanese has brand new top of the line British built battleships. Crews are well trained and literally have been prepped for a conflict. Russia: Over bloated, corrupt to the core, its officers not well trained, its soldiers not well trained, its weapons outdated or not well maintained. Russia Ukraine War: Ukraine been preparing for a possible Russian invasion for years. Weapons were on par if also a little better. It has increasingly been given newer weapons and makes very good tactical decisions and excellent use of what its been given. Literally it stalled Russia's advance and Russia is currently retreating. Russia: Over bloated, corrupt to the core, its officers, not well trained, its soldiers not well trained, its weapons outdated, not well maintained. I'm sensing a pattern..
@@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent I would not listen to our own propaganda regarding Russians fighting in their backyard. The Nazis underestimated them and look what happened afterwards. Plus the regime in Kiev has been getting backhanders from Creepy Joe himself.
Not to mention that this reinforcement squadron was itself a last ditch effort to change the course of the war, after the original Pacific Fleet was anihilated in and out of Port Arthur (and some remnants were interred in neutral ports) and Port Arthur itself had fallen even before this relief "Second Pacific Squadron" got anywhere near East Asia.
Not really unsurprising, since it's one of the most strategically important areas leading from and to Japan. Korea is sometimes also referred to as 'The dagger pointed at Japan's belly'
Well, Russia should not have sent the Baltic Fleet in after losing the Pacific Squadron. Ill equipped, on aging vessels, traveling around half the world, shelling some british fishermen at Doggerbank, almost causing the UK joining the frey... Bad experience, overloaded with coal for long voyage. Tushima and it's prelude is one of the most ridiculous clusterfucks you can imagine like ever. Believing that the Baltic Fleet had a chance was at best very optimistic. But considering the logistical nightmare of getting there, just not worth anything. Was the 2nd Pacific Sqadron some units stationed remotely at the pacific, I could maby understand it. But sending the baltic fleet... why? Russia got nothing, and they lost two fleets.
Josy Naemi Köhler , Yonbally Earlson , Friends, read about this war two wonderful books: - "Tsushima" (in two volumes, 1920-1940) was written by the participant of the Tsushima battle, the sailor of the Russian battleship "Eagle" - Alexey Novikov- Surf; - "Port Arthur" (in two volumes, 1935-1940) - author Alexander Stepanov. Russian sailors and soldiers were brave. Russian officers were ready to give their lives for their homeland. But their commanders - the highest Tsarist admirals and generals were traitors and cowards. The royal regime of Nicholas II is rotten. This war was one of the reasons for the first Russian revolution of 1905, which the Russian Tsar Nicholas II severely suppressed.

Fun Fact. The Russian and Japanese ships was a excellent test of the different designs that was choosen. Many of the Russian ships were based on Frenched high board designs. Think a building on its side floating and it looks like a ship. Impressive to look at but basically screams shoot me. the newest models in the Russian fleet were based on the Tumblehome design also french designs. Making the ships have sloping sides and armor, Again they looked impressive but these designs not to mention improves freeboard but had a tendency to roll if your not careful with them. The Japanese Imperial Fleet was primarily British built. The BBs were all british. They used a low freeboard type design which well had the top of the hull closer to the water line and thereby water making them more vunerable to waves crashing over there. The Design gave better stability for using weapons, less chance of rolling, and harder to hit. Almost all Japanese Battleships after the turn of the century would be based on British designs and at least one famous one in WW2 was a british built ship. The IJN Kongo.. .
Actually most Japanese warships were already being made in Japan, battleships were one exception, they demanded more workforce, time and steel. At the time Japanese Shipyards were at full capacity manufacturing destroyers, gun boats, corvettes, and worse, yahata steelworks wasn't properly working as they expecting. Therefore they feared it would take too long to get the more labor intensive battleships just in time only by relying on local production line, they were thus compelled to request the brits

"I experienced most of the mortars and Shimose powder once, but this is a completely new invention. It is suspected that what is inside the ship and falls on the deck is not a shell, but a torpedo. This powerful shell explodes as soon as you touch something. Those protruding above the iron plate and upper deck on the ship's side become fine dust, which injures people and the iron ladder bends in a bay shape and the cannon that is fixed bends from the root. Such work is by no means dependent on the striking force of the bullet, but entirely on its explosive force."
Despite Japan winning, the USA didn't like seeing a non European type people defeating other European looking people, and thus America basically came in forced Japan to sign a treaty to end the war with Russia. So the USA literally saved Russia in this war. The Japanese became even more militarist as a result of this, because they didn't like how the USA robbed them of further success.
Ironic considering it was the USA that forced them (Japan) to open up and modernize in the first place.
USA often makes its own enemies and turns them into monsters it seems.
@@hanselsihotang nah the U.S only forced them to open up with unequal treaties Japan modernized itself
If I remember well, didn't USA come to Japan and was like "You're gonna trade with us, and you're gonna like it" when Japan was isolationist?

Anyway nice Oversimplified reference
Amazingly, one particular sailor lost two fingers. One more loss of a digit would have invalided him out of the Navy.
His name... was Yamamoto.
Yes. That same Yamamoto who later served against Pearl Harbour.
Thanks for that bit of info mate. Yamamoto himself at Tsushima. He is of the generation that tasted the sweet nectar of victory during that time and tried to carry on the tradition of Admiral Togo into the Japanese Navy of the 1930s and into the 1940s. Wouldn't be around anymore to witness though its complete and utter destruction in 1944 and 1945.
Probably why he was so obsessed with the Decisive Naval battle doctrine against the US
Some time after the war, the Japanese held a garden party to celebrate their victory.
Some newly graduated naval officers from the visiting battleship USS Ohio were also invited to the party. One of them invited Admiral Togo to their table. They had a pleasant chat and the experience left a lasting impression on the young midshipman.
His name was Chester Nimitz.
@@inigobantok1579 No more than the rest of the IJN's command. Decisive battle doctrine was deeply ingrained in their history. Yamamoto, while a daring gambler and a capable administrator (as well as an effective politician) wasn't a terribly innovative thinker (other than his early - and frankly opportunistic - grasp of air fleets as strike forces), so the notion of him being a maverick (with relation to his embrace of the Decisive Battle(tm)) really just doesn't strike me as credible.

While Tsushima was a completely lopsided victory for the Japanese Navy, the land battle of the Siege of Port Arthur was extremely costly for the Japanese Army with 57,000 casualties (although it was later found out most were due to illness -- vitamin B deficiency, which was absent from the Navy). So much so that General Nogi requested Emperor Meiji to allow him to commit seppuku in atonement.
@@yatsumleung8618yeah people remember the Russo-Japanese war as a complete blowout of the Russians but the Japanese army actually suffered higher casualties than the Russians(excluding captured soldiers), the Russian army was perfectly capable of fighting head on battles against the Japanese army and coming out ahead(these battles often resulting in absurdly high casualties for the Japanese that tended to engage in risky frontal assaults) but the higher leadership of the Japanese army was far more competent than the Russians, where the Russians consistently chose to defend the wrong areas and leave their flanks open the Japanese high commanders would see the failures of initial frontal assaults carried out by over-eager lower officers and direct troops into flanking assaults into the gaps left open by the incompetent Russian generals.
Also the naval war before the battle of Tsushima was fairly balanced with the Russian Pacific fleet coming out slightly the worse largely due to being confined in their ports well by the Japanese efforts, unable to escape their port confines without risking hitting mines, though the real death knell for the Russian Pacific fleet was the loss of Port Arthur.

- "Tsushima" (in two volumes, 1920-1940) was written by the participant of the Tsushima battle, the sailor of the Russian battleship "Eagle" - Alexey Novikov- Surf;
- "Port Arthur" (in two volumes, 1935-1940) - author Alexander Stepanov.
Russian sailors and soldiers were brave. Russian officers were ready to give their lives for their homeland. But their commanders - the highest Tsarist admirals and generals were traitors and cowards. The royal regime of Nicholas II is rotten.
This war was one of the reasons for the first Russian revolution of 1905, which the Russian Tsar Nicholas II severely suppressed.

If you look into the Russian voyage, the battle wasn't even the biggest clusterfuck.
lol ye i've seen a docu about it....honestly suprised they got this far only to get slaughtered....
at least there was an ample supply of binoculars, and dam you Kamchatka.
@@doomed2die595 I heard that Admiral Togo met Rozhestvensky while he was in hospital and said "Defeat is a common fate of a soldier. There is nothing to be ashamed of in it. The great point is whether we have performed our duty." I think Togo didnt know how much those words meant to him
Japan's finest hour.
The actor portraying Admiral Togo bears an amazing resemblance.
Not just him. The late Toshiro Mifune did too.

The japan flag ship "Mykasa" was built by British. It was a totally new project, even better than british ships. It was given to Japan as "prototype", so Japan can learn and improve next ships they will built.
Its was not given, the Japanese bought it
Fun fact. It's the only surviving British battleship. All others have been scrapped despite all the battle honours.
三笠は記念艦として現存していて、今日彼女に乗船してきましたが、素晴らしかったです。しかし、日本の敗戦後、アメリカ軍などによって三笠は武装解除され、下はコンクリートに固められ、艦上は水族館やダンスホールに改造されていた時代があったり、敗戦後の混乱による盗難が相次いだことから、当時の物はあまり残っていなかったのが残念です

@@namo9810 the Ottomans blocked the Russian Black Sea fleet. Ottomans did not give permission for the Russians to traverse the Bosphorus to fight in Japan. So Russia had to resort to its Baltic fleet.

У нас в России до сих пор так. Россияне винят полководцев того времени, потому что "Мы проиграли войну каким то макакам". Хотя в действительности японская армия была невероятно могущественна и мотивирована, а японские адмиралы учились у англичан и были прекрасными моряками. Наш внутренний расизм и шовинизм позволили нам задрать свой нос вверх и пропустить быстрый удар от японского боксера

If you take a look at the Russian navy in the early 20th century, it’s very hard to find a somewhat glorious moment
Fun Fact. The Russian and Japanese ships was a excellent test of the different designs that was choosen. Many of the Russian ships were based on Frenched high board designs. Think a building on its side floating and it looks like a ship. Impressive to look at but basically screams shoot me. the newest models in the Russian fleet were based on the Tumblehome design also french designs. Making the ships have sloping sides and armor, Again they looked impressive but these designs not to mention improves freeboard but had a tendency to roll if your not careful with them.
The Japanese Imperial Fleet was primarily British built. The BBs were all british. They used a low freeboard type design which well had the top of the hull closer to the water line and thereby water making them more vunerable to waves crashing over there. The Design gave better stability for using weapons, less chance of rolling, and harder to hit.
Almost all Japanese Battleships after the turn of the century would be based on British designs and at least one famous one in WW2 was a british built ship.

Ah yes, the French hotels.
Actually most Japanese warships were already being made in Japan, battleships were one exception, they demanded more workforce, time and steel. At the time Japanese Shipyards were at full capacity manufacturing destroyers, gun boats, corvettes, and worse, yahata steelworks wasn't properly working as they expecting. Therefore
they feared it would take too long to get the more labor intensive battleships just in time only by relying on local production line, they were thus compelled to request the brits
Tumblehome was also terrible against high arc modern guns, which would hit the armour at 90 deg, and thus have a greater chance of penetration.
When every European power began to respect and fear the Empire of the Sun
not really, they still look down on Japan after ww1
Just becuz Japan is a non-European country meant that they were weak.Russia thought so
"Tsushima" became a synonym of a total defeat in Russia for many years. Probably one of the most shameful defeat in the Russian history.

Future admiral Yamamoto was an ensign on one of the Japanese ships and lost two fingers in an explosion. If he'd have lost three he'd have been invalided out of the navy and history would have been very different.
There were a lot of former samurai in Japanese soldiers at this time, so they were brave and might have been strong against war
@@revbladez5773 What you're saying is true, but the samurai's children were also learning something called Bushido. Their heart is the same Yamato soul as a samurai
@@こんにちは-h8n They did not. The whole concept of bushido is at best a romantization. At worst, propaganda.
Samurai were still in living memory and those who remembered them who were not samurai themselves remembered them primarily as their tax collectors whom they were forced to treat with respect or risk summary execution. As a result, they had no love for the samurai.
bushido is a nuke magnet.
Mongols did the same 700 years ago before that and lost.
