| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Oleg Airapetov [Regnum] On June 7, US President Theodore Roosevelt invited the belligerents to gather in a conference to discuss the terms of peace. Tokyo immediately agreed to Washington's proposal. In this situation, on May 30 (June 12), Nicholas II was forced to accept the invitation to peace talks. At the insistence of Japan, the city of Portsmouth on the Pacific coast of the United States was chosen as the place of negotiations - the Japanese did not want to transfer them to Europe. |

| #3 It has been many years since I had read the History of The Russo Japanese War. China played its part as it normally did. That is basically why I have such a low opinion of them today. Look at Biden what he is doing as an contemporary example. Greed, graft, corruption are all in play. Getting anything done or corrected is at best an afterthought. |
