  1. Apart from Japan, Qing China was also very anti-Russian because it lost territory in Central Asia, the Mongol lands and Manchuria to Russia, and had to sign humiliating treaties.

    However, it was much more anti-British and anti-American, with particular hatred reserved for Christian missionaries who were seen as the worst imperialists.

    Russia’s imperial ideology really begins in the 15th century when it acquired a claim to be the “Third Rome” due to a marriage of the ruling family of Moscow to a Greek princess of the last ruling Byzantine family fleeing the Fall of Constantinople.

    A little-known fact is that Imperial Russia was very popular among the land-owning elites of Mexico and much of Latin America, because the Russian Imperial government actively persecuted Freemasons. In Mexico, most liberals were Freemasons.

  2. I think you have confused dates. The war had lasted from 1904 to 1905 if i remember correctly.

  3. In 1877 was the Russo-Turkish war that resulted in the Liberation of Bulgaria. I feel like you might have some historical details wrong
