1904 Russia and Japan declare war on each other.
To say this was an unmitigated disaster for Russia is an understatement.
Their ground forces did alright to start with but being at the end of a single very long rail line with all your industry, population, and supplies at the other end was, to put it mildly, unfortunate.
The real humiliation was the utter destruction of Russia's navy. Their Pacific fleet was destroyed at anchor (the Japanese are quite fond of surprise naval attacks) so the decision was made to sail their entire Atlantic fleet across the globe to defeat Japan.
High points of the journey including Russian ships sinking one another, mistaking British fishing boats for the Japanese (just off the shore of the UK) and sinking them, which came very close to adding the Brits to the fight, crew being forced to stay on board for fear of mass desertion, and finally one of the most one sided beatings in naval warfare when they did get to the Pacific and ran across the vastly superior Japanese navy.
In the long run it greatly damaged the loyalty of the Russian people to the Czar (Russia losing World War I was the final death blow) and, oddly enough, setting the stage for Japan's own strategic disaster in declaring war in the 1930s on China.
