Share a group of old photos of Haicheng Liaoning in 1904. Why was Haicheng occupied by Japanese in this period
It starts with a war – the Russo Japanese War. The Russo Japanese War was a war between Japan and Russia in 1904-1905 to fight for Northeast China and Korea
In July 1900, Russia sent troops to occupy the three northeastern provinces of China by taking advantage of its participation in the Eight Power Allied Army’s suppression of the Boxer Movement. In April 1902, China and Russia signed the Treaty on the Settlement of the Three Eastern Provinces. However, after the first withdrawal of Russian troops in October that year, Russia refused to continue to implement the treaty, which caused opposition from Japan, Britain, the United States and other powers. On August 12, 1903, Japan formally lodged a negotiation with Russia, demanding that Russia recognize that Japan had “; Superior Benefits”, Japan only recognizes Russia“ It has special interests in Manchuria Railway”. After several negotiations, the two countries failed to achieve results
On February 8, 1904, the Japanese navy suddenly attacked the Russian fleet stationed in Lushunkou, China without declaring war, and the Japanese Russian War broke out. On February 12, the cowardly Qing government, Israel, Japan and Russia; All AIA” For, declare outsider neutrality. Due to the difficulties in supply and incompetence in command, the Russian army suffered repeated failures, and cities in the northeast fell into the hands of Japan in turn. On August 10, 1905, Japan and Russia officially held peace talks in Portsmouth, the United States, and signed the Peace Treaty of Portsmouth on September 5. After the Russo Japanese War, Japan entered the ranks of world powers
The following group of photos were taken at that time, more than 110 years ago. However, whenever I see this history, I always feel sorry for the humiliation of foreign enemies that China suffered at that time. I hope that Chinese people can unite with foreign countries in good faith and never be humiliated by foreign enemies
分享一组1904年海城辽宁老照片，为什么这个时期海城会被日本人占领呢？
这就要从一场战争说起 – 日俄战争。日俄战争是1904年-1905年日本和俄国为争夺中国东北和朝鲜而进行的战争。
1900年7月，俄国利用参加八国联军镇压义和团运动之机，派兵占领中国东北三省。1902年4月，中俄签订 《交收东三省条约》，但当年10月俄国第一次撤兵之后，便不肯继续履行条约，招致日、英、美等列强的反对。1903年8月12日，日本正式向俄国提出交涉，要求俄国承认日本在朝鲜有“优越利益”，日本只承认俄国 “于满洲铁路有特殊利益”。两国几经谈判均未获结果。
1904年2月8日，日本海军未经宣战突然袭击俄国驻扎在中国旅顺口的舰队，日俄战争爆发。2月12日，懦弱的清政￥府以日俄两国 “均系友邦”为由，宣布局外中立。俄军由于补给困难以及指挥无能，屡遭失败，东北各城市也依次落入日本之手，到1905年8月10日，日俄双方在美国朴茨茅斯正式举行和谈，于9月5日签订 《朴茨茅斯和约》。日俄战争后，日本跨入世界列强的行列。
以下这组照片就是当时所拍摄，距今已有110多年，但是每每看到这段历史，总是为当时中国遭受的外敌欺辱感到痛心，希望国人能精诚团结一致对外，并永保强盛不再受外敌之辱。
