About this listen

 In the mid-19th Century, two eastern empires were humiliated by industrialized powers. To avoid further humiliation, they both decided to industrialize themselves. In the late 19th Century, Russia and Japan went through rapid modernization. But which of the two succeeded would shock everyone, come 1905.

In this episode, we will cover:
  • The emancipation of the serfs in Russia
  • The Witte System
  • Japanese proto-industrialization
  • The Meiji Restoration
  • And the Russo-Japanese War
