The Russo-Japanese War and its Impact on the Peripheral World

Abstract

Despite the fact that the Russo-Japanese War is little known in Latin America,
this war had an important impact on the rest of the world, mainly on Asia,
and especially on the political-intellectual ground. This impact consists in
the manner in which Japan became a point of attraction to many peripheral
leaders from different global spaces, which in turn reaffirmed common
ideas leading to the conclusion that the West was not invincible. This analysis
was made thanks to the Peripheral Thought academic approach.
