The Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905 pitted expansionist Russia against up-and-coming Japan. Russia sought warm-water ports and control of Manchuria, while Japan opposed them. Japan emerged as a naval power and Admiral Togo Heihachiro achieved international fame. Russia lost two of its three naval fleets.


Snapshot of the Russo-Japanese War:
When: February 8, 1904, to September 5, 1905
Where: The Yellow Sea, Manchuria, the Korean Peninsula
Who: The Russian Empire, ruled by Tsar Nicholas II, versus the Japanese Empire, ruled by the Meiji Emperor

Total Troop Deployment:
Russia - approx. 2,000,000
Japan - 400,000

The Russian number is too high and the Japanese too low for the number of troops deployed in the theater, but might be accurate for the size of their standing armies at the start of the war.

Who will win if the two fight again? I believe Japan will defeat Russia.

Just between the 2 of them I would say Russia but Japan could likely win with the help of allies.

Russia is not that strong for most of its weapons and tactics are out of date.  Japan is much more advanced than Chechnya. So even fighting alone, it could beat Russia again easily.
