Russia and Japan fought a declared war from 1904-1905. The land battles fought near present day North Korea marked some of history's bloodest battles until World War 1. The naval battles fought in the Yellow Sea and Tsushima Straites were the first clash between modern steel built battleship fleets. The Battle of Tsushima (27 May 1905) was the only naval battle in history, in which modern steel "Battleship Fleets" fought a decisive sea action. The results of "Tsushima" led to Britain's building of HMS Dreadnaught in October of 1905 (launched in 1906); a battleship that led the world into a new "arms race" that led directly into WW1.
