Centenary International Symposium on the Russo-Japanese War and the Portsmouth Peace Treaty
19. Mai - 22. Mai 2005
In the centennial year of the Russo-Japanese War, this conference aims at reassessing the meaning of this major event in Russian and Japanese history from a variety of viewpoints. The Russo-Japanese War was important not only for the states directly involved, Japan and Russia, but also to other international questions: its battlefield was Korea and Northeast China (Manchuria), but Western great powers were behind the scenes, and the result served as a stimulus for national movements in Asia. Studies conducted until now from the perspectives of Korea and China are not sufficient yet. Furthermore, studies in the fields of economy, public information and literature have not received enough attention.
