I won't go into too much details but the Asian country that defeated Russia in war, namely the Russo-Japanese war(1904-05) was Japan.
It was a conflict based on good military strategy. It all started because Japan wanted Korea as a province but Russia did not allow that to happen so Japan tried to negotiate to get Korea in exchange that Russia could keep Manchuria but Russia refused and negotiations broke down so Japan thought of an alternative...war.

So the Japanese fleet open fired on the Russia Eastern Fleet in Port Arthur which eventually got destroyed. As Russia suffered humiliating defeats, the country thought it could beat Japan but Japans strategy proved superior so they defeated Russia in many battles.

The state constitutions created the articles of confederation and it didn't have an executive branch and a judicial branch. The federal government was not allowed by state constitutions to control taxes. These mistakes were made before the US Constitution. So, government officials realize that they needed a stronger federal government.
<em>The Constitution (originally comprising seven articles) delineates the national frame of government. Its articles embody the doctrine of the separation of powers, the concepts of federalism, and establish the procedure subsequently used by the thirteen States to ratify it.</em>
