Battle of Tsushima (Empire of Japan vs Russian Empire) 

Sake

The Russians actually barely had a chance. The fleet they were using was actually outdated,badly supplied and had already traveled across the entire world. The Japanese on the other hand were using a brand new fleet that was basically top of the line ,British constructed and well drilled. It was one of the things that showed how far the Russians had slipped.

When Japan opened its doors to the world, the literacy rate in London was around 25%, while the literacy rate in Japan was between 80 and 90%. The driving force behind Japan's victory was not the power of weapons, but the power of education.

Japans were very succesful at reforming themselves.

Meanwhile Putin was watching dragon ball

They are now Ghosts of Tsushima.

The story of how the russian fleet even got to Tsushima is at least as interesting and way more crazy than the battle.

"Although the era of samurai was ended their spirit is still alive"(Admiral Togo was a samurai in childhood)

IMO, the Japanese Ships (which were designed by the British) look better than the Russian Ships.

"The fate of the Empire rest on the outcome of this battle, let every man do his utmost duty"

It was the first time a European type enemy was defeated by an Asian nation in the modern era, one thing not shown in this video is that Japan invented a new type of explosive charge that it used during this battle, it was invented by engineer Masachika Shimose of the imperial Japanese navy. It was used to great effect against the Russians and was the highest powered explosive at the time.

Fun fact: The Japanese defeat of the Russians was considered an exciting development for many intellectuals and statesmen who thought and worried about the "fall" of the Ottoman Empire. Let me give an example to understand the effect of this wave of excitement on the Ottoman Empire. The name of the victorious admiral of the Japanese is Togo. At that time, many children in Ottoman lands, especially in Istanbul, were called "togo". The source of "zeki hikmatullah togo", the name of the second child of Halide Adıvar(turkish writer), is this war and the victorious admiral of this war, Togo. This war excited Halide and Adıvar, and clever Hikmatullah was called "togo" like other boys born in his neighborhood at that time.

Beautiful graphics! I already knew the outcome but I was still enthralled the whole time!

And thus, Admiral Togo's name achieved immortality in naval history.

やっぱ戦艦同士の殴り合いはいいわぁ。漢って感じで

you know you've watched too many war-related movie clips when you start recognizing the sound samples

Long Live Japan

Amazingly, one particular sailor lost two fingers. One more loss of a digit would have invalided him out of the Navy.

ここで負けてたらって思うと鳥肌が止まらない‼️
