	An Undeclared War
		By February 2, 1904, the Japanese Imperial Army's 12th Division, under the command of Major General Kuroki Tamemoto, was already embarked aboard troop ships intended for a major landing on Korea's west coast with orders to pacify the capital area and seize the southern provinces.
		The Japanese had been eager to keep the peace in the region and stretched their readiness to compromise to its limits, but when a fight could no longer be avoided, they struck first, struck fast and struck hard.
		Superior to the Japanese in sheer numbers, the Russians were far inferior to Japan when it came to the efficiency needed for conducting warfare.

		During the Japanese occupation of the Gilbert Islands were garrisoned by units of the Imperial Navy and it would be well at this point to provide a brief descriptions of the most important types of Naval ground forces that were found in the Central Pacific.

		Particularly on Tarawa, the Japanese troops at one time pressed the enemy back to the narrow beaches and took a heavy toll of their forces, but finally were compelled to retreat.

		The various divisions of the Japanese fleet were proceeding to their several stations for the bombardment, and Admiral Dewa, whose duty was to spot the fall of the shot off the harbor, appeared in the offing.
		When the Japanese got along side they found the decks a mass of dead and dying; not a single officer was to be seen, and scarcely an unwounded man. One or two were seized and sent off.
		Still, besides another destroyer to their score, the Japanese claimed that they had effected their real moral purpose of what used to be called "insulting the enemy in his port," but in fact, according to Russian accounts, the moral effect had been the reverse of what the Japanese hoped.
