The object of Japan in the Russo-Japanese war of 1904 was to win such victories as would establish her political ascendancy in the Far East beyond challenge. Japan's hardest task was the siege of Port Arthur, and frequently during the sapping of the Russian defences the adversaries would get so close together that the breaking in of an earthen partition brought them face to face.

Japan's goal was to establish political ascendancy in the Far East, making the siege of Port Arthur a crucial and challenging task.
