History Dispatches is a daily history show hosted by father and son duo Matt and McKinley Breen. The show covers people, places, events and even objects from throughout history. While any topic is fair game, Matt and McKinley hold a soft spot for the offbeat and wacky stories that most people don’t know about.
On May 27, 1905, the Russian and Japanese fleets faced off in the Tsushima Strait during the Russo-Japanese War. It is the first modern naval battle – and described as the greatest and the most important naval event since Trafalgar – a century earlier. It also ushered in Japan as a world power – and helped sow the seeds of the end of Czarist Russia. This is the story of the battle of Tsushima.
