Answer: A good example is this...
The Palmer Raids were a series of raids conducted in November 1919 and January 1920 during the First Red Scare by the United States Department of Justice under the administration of President Woodrow Wilson to capture and arrest suspected radical leftists, mostly Italian and Eastern European immigrants and especially anarchists and communists, and deport them from the United States. The raids particularly targeted Italian immigrants and Eastern European Jewish immigrants with suspected radical leftist ties, with particular focus on Italian anarchists and immigrant leftist labor activists. The raids and arrests occurred under the leadership of Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, with 3,000 arrested. Though 556 foreign citizens were deported, including a number of prominent leftist leaders, Palmer's efforts were largely frustrated by officials at the U.S. Department of Labor, which had authority for deportations and objected to Palmer's methods.
Answer:
The statements are referring to the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905.
Explanation:
The Russo-Japanese War was a conflict between Russia and Japan due to the two countries' imperialist aspirations in Asia, especially related to Korea and Manchuria. The war started in February 1904 and ended in September the following year. The land battles were particularly fought over the city of Port Arthur and the Liaodong Peninsula as well as the railway from the port to Harbin.
Russia suffered a series of defeats in the conflict and had to give Japan a number of concessions at the peace treaty, including the control of Korea.
The outcome of the war first led to a major change in the balance of power in East Asia, and opened in the longer term for later Japanese expansion. Russia abandoned Liaodong and Port Arthur, relinquished the southern half of the island of Sakhalin to Japan, and withdrew from Manchuria. Korea thus remained uncontested in Japan's sphere of interest.
In a wider sense, the humiliating Russian defeat contributed to the internal tension and dissatisfaction with the Tsar regime in Russia, leading up to the 1905 revolution.
