What were the effects of the russo-japanese war?

Answer 1

There were three major effects:

1. Establishment of the Japanese Imperial Navy as a major naval power.

2. Removal of the Russian Navy from the European naval arms race, which allowed Germany to compete against Britain without competition.

3. Britain's approval to lay the keel of HMS Dreadnought in October 1905.

The number one effect was the construction of HMS Dreadnought four months after the Battle of Tsushima, which had validated the concept of an all-big-gun battleship. The launching of Dreadnought in 1906 commenced a new world naval arms race which led directly into World War I
