I corrected the end of the section on the Russo_Japanese. The war was the not the first time in history that a major European power was defeated by an Asian nation. In ancient history it was often the Asian countries defeating the Europeans in wars and Europeans winning were less common. Greeks vs the Persians often resulted in Greek defeat. Same with the Ottoman Turks and the Romans/Byzantines, Mongols and the Russians and the rest of eastern Europe. The Japanese defeating the Russians in the Russo-Japanese War was the first time in MODERN warfare that a major European nation was defeated by an Asian country. Miyashita (talk)MIyashita
