General Ōyama and the Russo-Japanese war
Iwao Ōyama (1842-1916) was one of the founders of the Imperial Japanese Army and Supreme Commander of the Japanese Manchurian Army during the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-1905. As such, he led the Japanese forces in all major battles, making him a prominent part of Japan’s victory in the war. This article written in Tagalog is part of a two-part article that discusses Marquess Ōyama, his wife Sutematsu Ōyama, and the Russo-Japanese war. More specifically, the article expresses Filipino admiration for the Japanese victory achieved under the Marquess’ leadership as it proved that Asian nations could come out victorious in battles with European powers. As for his wife, the Marquise Ōyama, the author mentions that she was one of the first female students to receive an education in the USA as part of the Iwakura Mission.
