About this listen

The provided episode discuss Japan's involvement in major conflicts, offering a contrast between an early 20th-century siege and World War I speculation. We examine rumors of Japan's continued participation in World War I after the fall of Tsingtau, specifically discussing the potential deployment of Japanese troops to European battlefields and arguing against the strategic likelihood of such a move. Furthermore we're detailing the Siege of Port Arthur (1904–1905), a protracted and costly land battle of the Russo-Japanese War that showcased modern siege warfare technology and resulted in a decisive Japanese victory over the Russian fleet and garrison. Finally we highlight Japan's emergence as a significant military power in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and the high human cost of its military campaigns.
