| | Portsmouth Treaty Conference (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | This treaty, signed in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on September 5, 1905, brought to a peaceful close the greatest international conflict prior to World War I, a conflict in which Japan and Russia fought against each other for a year and a half, waging battles unprecedented in scale and technology, over control of Manchuria and Korea. |
 | | The Portsmouth and Its Legacies conference will bring together scholars, diplomats, and other practitioners from Japan, Russia, the United States, and other countries affected by the Russo-Japanese War and the ensuing peace settlement to discuss the background and making of the Portsmouth Treaty and its long-term implications for international relations. |
 | | We are collaborating with the Portsmouth Peace Treaty Anniversary Committee and the Northeast Cultural Cooperative to create displays of photographs, documents, and other materials pertaining to the Portsmouth Treaty to be shown in the town of Portsmouth, in New Hampshire schools, and at Dartmouth College beginning in the summer of 2005. |
