Manchuria, also known as “Northeast China,” has a rich and complex history back thousands of years of periods marked by political, social, and economic that changed the region. In the early 1900s, Manchuria was mainly influenced by foreign powers, primarily Russia and Japan, and became the object of desire for both nations. The Russo-Japanese War created struggles for dominance with consequences for the region. Russia's aftermath was diminished as the Japanese gained a more muscular foot in this region. Japan's control caused industrialization and modernization efforts to establish and develop the region to link the Japanese homeland. Manchuria has natural resources like coal, iron, and timber that were heavily exploited by the Japanese, leading to rapid economic growth. As the region gained support from “The Chinese Nationalist Party” or even “Kuomintang,” they also supported the unification of China.

During the War, the citizens were significantly impacted during the one year that created consequences. The War had taken a severe toll on the people's mental and physical well-being, leaving both countries experiencing a wave of patriotic fervor when it began. Some citizens eagerly sign up early in the military service and support as much as possible in the War. However, it did cause enthusiasm that turned into frustration and caused a huge disaster. The government decided to fund food and fuel, which created more work but also scared the citizens as they needed the same source to survive—because of that, supply prices started a wider spread of hunger and unrest. This mismanagement caused corruption, leading to a loss of faith in the ruling, which later contributed to the Russian Revolution in 1905. While for Japanese citizens they experience a significant shift in their identity during the War. Japan was viewed as an Asian nation protected and influenced by Western powers, which allowed Japan to showcase its military power to the world and the newfound self-confidence that impacted the Japanese population. Furthermore, both countries' civilians faced numerous hardships that caused them to lose their homes and confidence due to the damage caused by the War.

Russia wanted to control Manchuria and have back the imperialist policies that happened in the late 19th century. Manchuria offers rich natural resources that give more significant opportunities in the Chinese market. Russia desired to maintain and facilitate trade and military ambitions but moreover wanted to provide a buffer zone between the borders and Japan, their potential rival in Asia.

Japan is interested in the rapid modernization and the rich sources, just like Russia wanted. Japan's path expanded during the late 19th century for the rich mineral of vast coal, iron, and timber reserves. Manchuria had a reliable source of raw materials that created Japan to claim the region. Additionally, Russian territories formed challenges to Japan, which became the dominant power that began the war.

The Russo-Japanese War revealed a cruel role when it came to preparedness for the war's success. It was an emergency that took away some essential supplies to the military and the citizens in both countries. As Japan needed an emergency defense against Russia, it took a lot of supplies away due to the attack being on both land and sea. The result took most of the medical and food supplies, which imbalanced the citizens' part of the share. But it was worse for Russia in the early 1900s; Russia has always been unfair to its poor citizens. The rich will take the poor by having high taxes and land not adequately taken care of, which gives hunger and horrible living and working conditions. Because of that, Russia's attack was greedy, which caused them to lose this war. Rich was mean, taking and attacking for wanting more power, and as a result, losing it all because of it. Therefore, showing an unprepared attack or being shot can conduct the lesson that a nation needs to continuously prioritize and invest in its military to ensure the security of the nation.

connections between the historical events and issues in our contemporary world: Hama's attack Israel

# data[].attributes.body
Now, we may have all heard of Hamas attacking Israel. When I heard about it, I noticed that this is similar if not shown that it was also not prepared since it was a surprise attack. The ongoing of Israel has witnessed a surge of violence that recently was attacked with rockets by Hamas. The motivation for the attack is due to the unrest Hamas has in Israel in "Jerusalem." The tension shown in the report of CBS News is that the Palestinians protest and clashes due to the threats the holy site led between the Israeli forces and the Palestinian civilians. This eventually fueled Hamas's desire to defend Palestinians in their interest and their wants. The long anger that built over them due to Israeli policy led to the outbreak of violence that caused more than one thousand and four hundred people killed while three thousand and three hundred injured.

Overall, in many wars shown in history, many wealthy leaders, due to their reputation, are greedy and care all about just power. While some are fighting for their freedom, knowing that many people, from kids to elders, are losing their lives to something they are not asking for shows that we need to find a way to stop this or improve ways to be protected from it. We need more security that can alert anything suspensions or anything that can scan that there is something dangerous, but if there is something difficult that they are working like the military knows they should alert the rest of the military that this location is holding something that is theirs and not their enemies. Or have every phone and news alert on any attack and paths to a shelter made just for this. This isn't peace, nor will there ever be. We need to have a change, and it needs to come soon. A lot of people are losing their lives because of this.
