Battle of Tsushima (Empire of Japan vs Russian Empire) 

*Sake* Vs *Vodka*

They are now Ghosts of Tsushima.

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

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

What movie is that? Russia never makes movie about their lose. Even If they lose, they make movie like they won 😂😂😂

Amazingly, one particular sailor lost two fingers. One more loss of a digit would have invalided him out of the Navy. His name... was Yamamoto. Yes. That same Yamamoto who later served against Pearl Harbour.

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

Japans were very succesful at reforming themselves.

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

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.

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. Here is a quote from the Russian Colonel after experiencing the attacks. "I experienced most of the mortars and Shimose powder once, but this is a completely new invention. It is suspected that what is inside the ship and falls on the deck is not a shell, but a torpedo. This powerful shell explodes as soon as you touch something. Those protruding above the iron plate and upper deck on the ship's side become fine dust, which injures people and the iron ladder bends in a bay shape and the cannon that is fixed bends from the root. Such work is by no means dependent on the striking force of the bullet, but entirely on its explosive force." Despite Japan winning, the USA didn't like seeing a non European type people defeating other European looking people, and thus America basically came in forced Japan to sign a treaty to end the war with Russia. So the USA literally saved Russia in this war. The Japanese became even more militarist as a result of this, because they didn't like how the USA robbed them of further success.

やっぱり航空戦闘機交えての乱戦より、戦艦の一騎討ちの方が「海戦」というべきにふさわしい戦だと思う。

やっぱ戦艦同士の殴り合いはいいわぁ。漢って感じで

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

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.

皇国の興廃、この一戦に有り

When you have the power of god and anime on your side

Japan is so similar to Britain 1) both of them possessed powerful empires 2) both of them owned powerful fleets 3) both had mainland rivals 4) both were island nations

Meanwhile Putin was watching dragon ball

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

ここで負けてたらって思うと鳥肌が止まらない‼️

One of the keys to the Japanese victory at Tsushima was Admiral Togo's deployment of picket boats equipped with wireless transmitters, which relayed information in real-time to the Admiral on the approach of the Russian fleet.

from 1867 to 1905... in just 38 years they have such a modern army

"Do you see torpedo boats" Kamchatka

次はウクライナの番ですよ Now it's Ukraine's turn to beat Russia!

R.i.p Russian and Japan 両軍バンザイBanzai

Japaneses:"Omaewa, Mo Shindeiru!", russians:" Nani!"

The Japanese navy was able to win with high skill and T-style. The Russian navy who was tired from the long trip was also brave. And thanks to Britain.

Jeez, Tsushima has everything happen to it, doesn't it? Two Mongol invasions and now this.

The moment when an Asian country beat Europe for the first time.

Those poor poor fish

この海戦は、日本の、そしてアジアの誇り。 人種差別が当たり前の当時において、黄色人種の国が、白人に、ましてや大国に勝ったのは、世界中に衝撃を与えた。

日本の誇り

酒vsウォッカってコメントクソワロタw

Pure battleship gun fire battle, no submarine, no aircraft. What a symbollic naval battle, which the world might never have another one.

Japan was the pride of the whole Asia at that time

Glory to The Japan

Empire of Russian fall down bycommunist Russia After lost to Japan

第二次大戦より、この当時の戦艦の方がカッコいい　両国ともに、船首に日本は菊の御紋、露は紋章が付いてるのもクール

Mikasa is powerful battleship of rising sun

This battle and loss of the Russian fleet had a MAJOR effect and contributed a lot for the 1905 and 1917. revolutions and ultimately birth of Soviet Union. (cruiser Aurora took part of this battle)

坂の上の雲だ！！ 懐かしい、毎週欠かさずに観てたな 伝説の東郷ターンは必見だね！！！

Long Live Japan Love Azerbaijan 🇦🇿🇯🇵

Battleships : boom boom bing bong Sailors : wha aaah wuu ahhh

I can't believe this battle happened 35 years after the Meiji Restoration.

This was only 40 years after the Civil War and the first ironclads, a quantum leap in technology and fire control, escalating to this day!

この動画を見ていると悲鳴が聞こえてきて、悲しくなります。 両国の英霊よ、安らかに。

日本の艦隊強すぎる

The flag of Japan's Rising Sun is really cool

In 1905, Admiral Togo U-turn in front of the Russian fleet and won. In 1944, Admiral Kurita U-turn in front of the American fleet and lost.

Mongols did the same 700 years ago before that and lost.

Japan Won

When you declare war in stellaris without knowing enemy fleet power

Great Battle of Sea of Japan, aka Battle of Tsushima Strait, Russian fleet were completely destroyed by Empire Japan! One sided slaughter

"Powerful Russian fleet" Is this the same powerful, Russian fleet that thought fishing boats off the coast of Britain were Japanese torpedo boats, fired 300 shells, and only managed to sink one of them? The same fleet that fired on it's own ships (and missed) during that same fight?

The 2nd Russian Pacific Squadron was the closest thing to a real-life Ben Stiller navy movie. It was amazing they lasted as long as they did.

これで負けたら今の日本は無い。その意味でこの海戦に勝利したのは最大の価値がある。 なにせ国力がギリギリでの戦いであった、次は無い崖っぷち、勝利の価値は最高値である。

昔🇯🇵vs🇷🇺 今🇺🇦vs🇷🇺

明治の大先輩にただただ感謝するのみ。 元寇の時の鎌倉男子たちと同じ　かっこよすぎて涙が出ます。

Imperial japan: Banzai! Modern japan: Hentai!

Just becuz Japan is a non-European country meant that they were weak.Russia thought so

As an Asian, I am extremely proud of Japan. Japan is forever the hero of all Asian people!

For over 200 years the Dutch were the only western nation that was allowed to trade with Japan. The Japanese also gained a lot of knowledge through the Dutch. Also the the first modern Japanese ships (steamships) came from The Netherlands. The first modern Japanese naval training was also conducted by the Dutch.

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

This battle made one empire and broke the other. With the loss, Russian opinion of the Tsar and the Imperial Government was shattered forever. With the victory, Japan was hurled into a golden age of naval design and imperial expansion.

Funny how it’s Britain and France indirectly fighting.

I'm a Japanese. R.I.P. for Victims of both countries.

ロシアの『提督』 日本のTVドラマ『坂の上の雲』か、、、

The rise of japan was a role model for the Asian countries to follow it made them believe in there self

日露戦争に敗れていたらアジア全てが欧米列強の植民地だったはず。先人に感謝。

The shells Jin used at the time is high explosive named Shimose which isn’t good at penetrating armor but effective to burn to kill sailers

It shocked people all over the world that the small island country in Asia won the Russian Empire.

We love japanese 🇯🇵💪💪

Future admiral Yamamoto was an ensign on one of the Japanese ships and lost two fingers in an explosion. If he'd have lost three he'd have been invalided out of the navy and history would have been very different.

If you look into the Russian voyage, the battle wasn't even the biggest clusterfuck.

The view at 1:28 is absolutely insane… the black smoke and the muzzle flashes. To see something like that in real life and know those shells were coming for you had to be terrifying in more ways than one.

Well, Russia should not have sent the Baltic Fleet in after losing the Pacific Squadron. Ill equipped, on aging vessels, traveling around half the world, shelling some british fishermen at Doggerbank, almost causing the UK joining the frey... Bad experience, overloaded with coal for long voyage. Tushima and it's prelude is one of the most ridiculous clusterfucks you can imagine like ever. Believing that the Baltic Fleet had a chance was at best very optimistic. But considering the logistical nightmare of getting there, just not worth anything. Was the 2nd Pacific Sqadron some units stationed remotely at the pacific, I could maby understand it. But sending the baltic fleet... why? Russia got nothing, and they lost two fleets.

こーゆー戦艦同士の殴り合い、良いよね

Ghost of Tsushima 2 look nice

Funny that the algoritm wants to share this with me 24.02.2022...

Very well done. RIP to all who fell beneath the waves. The sea remembers her own.

Japan winner

I got to walk the decks of IJN Mikasa. Mid July 2019. She is a heckuva thing to see.

If anyone is interested, there are such books "Tsushima" (Novikov-Priboy) and "On the "Еagle" in Tsushima" (Kostenko). Both are written by participants in this battle and contain a lot of interesting information.

"Saka no Ue no Kumo" and "The Admiral" , isn't it? Nicely done there, though that japanese drama certainly had the perfect music already. Damn, we need a movie about Jutland.

"Tsushima" became a synonym of a total defeat in Russia for many years. Probably one of the most shameful defeat in the Russian history.

The fact the japanese manaeged to pull this off after only habing started modernization a few decades earlier is insanely impressive

When every European power began to respect and fear the Empire of the Sun

🇯🇵💖💖💖💖💖💖💪

撃たれても怯まず撃ち返す戦艦

大国ロシアの艦隊を日本が撃退するという、偉業。日本の勇敢さと、作戦がロシアを上回った。日本海海戦での勝利は日本の誇れる永遠の歴史だよね。

That's some smokey battle tbh. Damn, global warming.

The japan flag ship "Mykasa" was built by British. It was a totally new project, even better than british ships. It was given to Japan as "prototype", so Japan can learn and improve next ships they will built.

Japan navy very powerful

Togo turn！

Battleship Mikasa taking point!
