The Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05, which began with the Japanese naval attack on Port Arthur, had repercussions throughout the world. Germany had helped to nudge both powers towards the war and had also managed to alienate both belligerents. She had used tremendous diplomatic pressure against the Japanese to force them to relinquish Port Arthur to the Chinese, who then leased it to the Russians. Simultaneously the newly emerged nation of Japan was training its army officers in Germany. German involvement in the conflict led to war scares with both France and Great Britain, causing Germany to quickly arrange an unwanted international conference at which they found themselves distrusted and isolated. The war ended with the Treaty of Portsmouth, arranged by U.S. President Teddy Roosevelt. The Russo-Japanese War won for the U.S. a place at the table of superpowers and a new respect in world diplomacy, but for Germany it earned nothing but suspicion. In August 1905 the future chief of the general staff, Helmuth von Moltke, noted in his diary that "all the other nations are pretty well united in reviling Germany. They all assert that we are disturbing the peace."' Even Baron Friedrich von Holstein, the chief architect of foreign policy from 1890 to 1906, admitted the bankruptcy of German diplomacy. "In short," he wrote to a friend, "in the present atmosphere, it seems to me that the correct and dignified thing to do would be to act like Russia after the Crimean War and calmly to withdraw into ourselves.".
