What was the outcome of russo Japanese war?

Japan won the war, and gained control over Korea. Britain obtained the results from the Battle of Tsushima (also known as the battle of Japan Sea) and laid the keel of HMS Dreadnaught four months later in October 1905. HMS Dreadnaught when launched in 1906, would lead to a new world naval arm's race, which would culminate into World War One.


What was the name of great Britain's warship launched in 1906?

The brainchild of Admiral Jackie Fischer, the HMS DREADNAUGHT was uniformily armed with 12 inch guns; instead of the usual mixed battery of 12", 8", 6", etc. guns. The only problem awaiting the laying of the keel of DREADNAUGHT, was Britain's hesitancy...as no nation had ever experimented with such an investment before (battleships were the most expensive machines in the world at the time).Britain wisely awaited the outcome of the Battle of Tsushima fought on 27 May 1905. This sea battle involved the latest in European naval technology; mixed batteries, Harvey steel armor, and tumblehome verses conventional warship hulls. It also would be the only "test" of battleships fighting from the battle line with a decisive out-come. After Tsushima, there would be no more "decisive" battleship "fleet" actions.The fight proved that uniform 12" guns carried the day (both the Russians & Japanese battleships were armed with them). The British Admiralty approved the laying of the keel on October 1905; and HMS Dreadnaught was launched in 1906, starting a new arm's race of a new generation of battleships...called DREADNAUGHTS.It was HMS Dreadnought.
