The statement “Japan proved to the world that it was a rising power by defeating Russian troops in 1905, which led to the creation of the Treaty of Portsmouth” is false. It is the Treaty of Portsmouth that formally ended the war between the Russia and Japan in 1904 until 1905 contrary to the statement implying that the Treaty of Portsmouth is the product of the Japanese win against the Russian. The Treaty of Portsmouth is a settlement that ultimately gave Japan control over Korea and South Manchuria, including Port Arthur and the railway connecting it to the rest of the region.
