| description | The article examines the position of Great Britain during the Russian-Japanese war. At the end of the 19th century, the balance of power in the international arena was changing. This is due to the desire to strengthen the positions of Germany, the USA, Italy, Japan, to preserve and strengthen their position as the leading powers of Great Britain, France and Russia. At the beginning of the 20th century, Britain’s geopolitical interests shifted to the Far East against the background of socio-economic and political changes after the death of Queen Victoria. The Far East became one of the priorities of Britain’s colonial policy in the framework of rivalry with other powers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The British perceived any penetration of any power into this region as a threat to their geopolitical interests. The UK is increasing its support for Japan in order to contain Russia and Germany, which is increasing its influence in the Far Eastern region. During the Russian-Japanese war, Great Britain tries to adhere to the policy of «brilliant isolation», maintaining formal neutrality and not entering into an open armed conflict with Russia. Great Britain’s support for Japan in the war with Russia was facilitated by the fact that the Japanese promised equal economic rights for all powers in the Far East. The UK has used various forms of support for Japan. Including military, financial and information assistance. The article pays special attention to the sentiments of Western society, the coverage of the peace negotiations in the British press during the Russian-Japanese war. The British government acted cautiously, trying to maintain its pre-emptive position in the Far East, skillfully maneuvering between the policy of containment and the search for allies in the framework of advancing its interests. |
