This book explores and exposes previously unknown passages in Eurasian international history. Although the secret war ultimately failed in liberating the Caucasian peoples, the lessons of this Eurasian collaboration were not lost on the United States, which after World War II confronted the Soviet Union just as Japan had earlier. Washington copied the strategy of its former enemy and developed it further. The Eurasian triangle of Russia, the Caucasus, and Japan is a forgotten history of cardinal importance that, stretching from the Russo-Japanese War to World War II, influenced Western Cold War strategies. This book is also the story of a friendship rare in international politics between two unlikely partners unspoiled by political vicissitudes.Russo-Japanese War, 1904-1905Eastern question (Far East)World War, 1914-1918CampaignsEastern FrontWorld War, 1939-1945JapanEastern Front (World War (1914-1918))fastJapanfastWorld War One, World War Two, Japan, Russia, the Caucasus, Georgia, the Russo-Japanese War.Russo-Japanese War, 1904-1905.Eastern question (Far East)World War, 1914-1918CampaignsWorld War, 1939-1945327.47052Kuromiya Hiroaki128089Mamulia GiorgiMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798105703321The Eurasian Triangle2036881UNINA
