The Russo-Chinese War in 1900 was the first high point of Russian East Asia policy, which began with the failure of the Strait policy in 1856 in the Crimean War .

On the occasion of the Boxer Rebellion, the Russians occupied Manchuria , a then sparsely populated region in the north of what is now the People's Republic of China .

The war laid the foundations for the conflict between Japan and Russia, which was to break out in 1904/1905 (see Russo-Japanese War ).
