this war showed for the first time since the Mongol Invasion of Europe a 1000 years earlier that a Asian country can take on and defeat a Western country

for Japan this was a huge moment and a turning point in its history and march which lead to its inevitable demise in 1945

from here until the battle of Mid Way in 1942 Japanese Empire had a aura of invincibility about it

can you believe the last Veteran died in 1992

Russian navy could have won if they used Pacific fleet.

Not really the Russian navy was nothing more than fielding obsolete ships that would fare well against the Ottomans and Austro-Hungarians but not against the British or the Germans.

Japanese had the latest ships plus the advantage of home turf while Russia's main fleet was the Black Sea fleet and Baltic sea fleet.

There was but not it was not big enough to take on Japan. Russia's main fleets have always been the Baltic and Black Sea one.
