Japanese victories were initially cheered in support of this aim.

The battle itself ended inconclusively, though later events would result in the war ending in a Japanese victory.

The Japanese victory, however, gave the warriors a sense of fighting superiority that remained with Japan's soldiers until 1945.

But, the Japanese victory was not final.

A stunning Japanese victory, the war made Japan a world power.

But much of the populace dreaded a Japanese victory.

However, the Japanese victory on the west bank forced the Chinese to retreat, which they did in good order.

And of course it was to be a Japanese victory over the American Mongrels.

Thus, strategically the battle had been a Japanese victory, since the Russian fleet never again attempted to break out into the open sea.

The resulting fight lasted twelve hours, killed 3,000, and resulted in Japanese victory.
