The Battle of Tsushima signaled Japan's arrival as a major sea power. The humiliating defeat further weakened Russia's confidence in the Czars. It was a watershed event for both nations.

Тоже мне победа - 125 судов против 36, которые прошли полмира, и соответственно после похода требовали ремонта.

@redreaper2020 Indeed! God forbid we stop resolving differences between nations with the gun, bomb, and bayonet! After all, we humans accomplished ever so much by slaughtering one another rather than resolving our differences peacefully...

[DonPechito]

It's too bad there's no subtitles whatsoever !!

[Ubaldo421]

Why Japan and Russia did sign down peace treat under US vision?

[lafeelabriel]

To be honest the Russian fleet was doomed the moment battle was joined. They couldn't run away what with every ship in the fleet being severly overloaded with coal.

Charging the enemy fleet isn't going to do you much good when even the fastest battleships could barely manage twelve knots due to the above mentioned overload. And they needed that coal if they were going to make it to Vladivostok.

He deserves even less credit for his incredibly clumsy handling of the initial stages of the battle.After all the months at sea, he still obviously had no battle plan, and took the one course - a pitched battle against a faster and better-armed enemy force - guaranteed to fail. Like Speer at Jutland, he could - and should - have charged the enemy in line abreast when his T was crossed, and he probably would have got through with relatively few losses. Verdict: the culpability was his.

[dockbillin]

Rozhestvenskii deserves credit for getting the full fleet together and sailing it all the 33000 kilometres to the Sea of Japan despite British hostility, the inexperience of his crew, and the obsolescence of a large portion of his ships. He deserves none whatsoever for taking the shortest and most obvious route (Tsushima) to Vladivostok, where he was trapped between the Korean peninsula and the Japanese home islands without room for manoeuvre, instead of going around the east of Japan.

@fangj01 some people say that (mostly inferior chinks). but just bcoz some people say that doesn't make it correct. japan is one of few nations that was never a colony or overseas territory

@ownedhome "Nihon Kai Dai Kaisen"

It's almost impossible to get nowadays except to go to Japan or to order it online.

I have a copy my Dad got in Japan on a business trip. The subtitling job was horrid but if you can get past the bad translations it's a good film.\

I like Toshiro Mifune's skill of playing Admiral Togo.

On a side note does anyone know the names of the other song(s) in this video ( 1:20 to 10:38 ) ??? I'd like to get some of those, especially the most dramatic one.

Could someone tell me what film this is from please?

Japan and Russia are two of the most intriguing and enduring nations of the last 200 years.

Culturally and artistically, the two have enlivened and enriched the cultural heritage of the human race. But like many classic "empire building" nations (i.e., Rome, Mongol, Great Britain,etc.), Japanese and Russian history both have some serious black "stains" upon them, including acute cases of racist ethnocentrism and struggle to play down serious civil and military atrocities. SAD BUT TRUE.....
