| Summary | "The Russo-Japanese Conflict: Its Causes and Issues" by Kan'ichi Asakawa is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work meticulously examines the multifaceted causes and implications of the war between Russia and Japan, focusing on the economic and political stakes involved. Asakawa contextualizes the conflict within broader trends of modernization and national interest, particularly highlighting Japan's emergence as an industrial power and its ambitions in East Asia. The opening of the book presents a detailed commentary on the geopolitical landscape leading up to the Russo-Japanese War. It discusses Japan's rapid population growth and industrialization, juxtaposing it with the agricultural nature of Russia's economy. Asakawa emphasizes the critical importance of Korea and Manchuria to Japan's economic survival and growth, revealing the complex web of trade and resource dependence that underlies the conflict. The author also highlights the strategic motivations driving both powers, setting the stage for an inevitable clash as Japan seeks to ensure its access to essential trade routes and resources against Russia's expansionist policies.
