I have many question about that war.
Why they could win mighty Russia?
Those days,Russia was called "Policeman of Europe" as today US is called "Policeman of world"

The reasons were many.
The most important one was the remoteness of the war theater from the industrial and political centers of the Russian Empire. The russian lines of communications were too long. Just to remind you - Russia has 12 time zones(if I am not mistaken!) vs. just 4 in the Continental US of A.
Their Far East provinces had almost no infrastructure to support the troops. Even today, 100 years later, they bring supplies from the Center - can't produce them there. The Japanese were fighting with their backs close to home. So, while Russia has been much stronger economically and militarily than Japan(in general), she was very weak on the Far East.
Compare this situation with the Brits able to defeat Napoleon close to home but defeated by the colonists in then remote America.
Russia had not have good allies to help her in this situation with supplies, bases, etc. Only France had supported her, but not wholeheartedly. Everybody else(especially, the mighty Britain) has sided with Japan.
But the most important, I think, was the internal strife in the Russian society which ended with the First Russian revolution of 1905-1907.
Japan has been exhausted by the war as well and couldn't fight for much longer.
Russia has suffered many defeats on land and sea, but could outlast Japan, if not the revolution.
The war lasted for 2 years, not one, and was ended with Ted Roosvelt help with Portsmouth Threaty of 1906
