Feature History - Russo-Japanese War

Stop, no, you can't take that. We were gonna build a railroad through here to try and get some warm water

Man, the Japanese have a fetish for crippling Pacific Fleets

* Wars * * Rebelions * * Starvation * Russia Sleep BOI THEYRE TOUCHING YOUR RAILWAY REAL SHIT

Boy, I knew this war was a flop for Russia, but that Baltic fleet takes the cake.

How on Earth do you mistake British ships for a Japanese Fleet in the middle of the Baltic Sea

My little country Montenegro, located on the Balkans declared war on Japan in 1904 to support the Russians, some soldiers were sent all the way to the east to fight. Funny thing is Montenegro and Japan made peace in 2006 :D So we were at war for 102 years and we didn't even know it :D

How the hell did Russia manage to mistake British ships as Japanese, in the Baltic?!

How about maybe YOU chill? 👉

Every one talking about bill wurtz and battlefield 1, and all I want is to know more about them exotic animals and that pesky snake.

Loving the description of the Baltic Fleet

Fun fact: Montenegro, a co-belligerent, only signed a peace treaty with Japan in 2006

Japan seems to have a tradition of declaring war after they attack it seems. Edit: 3 years since I originally posted this comment as a joke and I'm astounded that this comment has garnered so many replies and over 1k+ likes. Hope all that have commented so are doing well, and are safe.

what about that bill wurtz reference with the russian railroad?

I like how you actually took the time to use each country's own rifle to match their flag, instead of just duplicating.

4:40 so the Russians ran away from the battlefield... a shamefur dispray.

The Battle of Tsushima... now THERES a tale. With Russia's first Pacific squadron destroyed, they renamed the Baltic fleet the "Second Pacific Squadron" and told them to set sail for the Far East, relieve Port Arthur and destroy the Japanese fleet. And so, the absurd and epic journey of the Second Pacific Squadron began. The journey took months, and was hell. Most of the sailors were untrained peasants shanghaied into the whole thing, and Admiral Zinoviy Rozhestvensky and his second in command Nikolai Nebogatov, the poor guys put in charge, knew full well that they were all being sent to die. And thousands did. The battle wasn't so much as a battle as a massacre. The Russian ships, some modern, but many decrepit and obsolete vessels (referred to by Rozhestvensky as the "sink-by-themselves ships") were sunk one by one. The Russian fleet was crushed, and what remained of it was surrendered to the Japanese by Nebogatov (Rozhestvensky had been badly wounded) who was unwilling to see more of his men die pointless deaths. And of course, when he and Rozhestvensky returned to Russia, they were blamed for absolutely everything. The Tsar nearly executed them, but instead they were imprisoned, their naval careers ended and their names were forever tarnished.

wow the production quality and attention to detail in these videos is always amazing, especially seeing all the nations with different period accurate rifles
