DBWI: Russian Tsarvitch to marry Japanese Princess.

Tsarvitch Peter announced his engagement to the Japanese Emperor's sister today, marking the first instance of a European monarch marrying into a Far-Eastern royal family. What’s you’re opinion on this guys?

I say I still wish that British Prince had married into the Chrysanthemum Throne when he had the chance.

mark my words - the Russians are gonna be the ruin of Japan.

I disagree, the Russians have been pushing hard in North Manchuria, and naturally the Japs have been getting nervous, this marriage, if it's successful in creating a dynastic union, will keep Russia far enough from Korea and Hokkaido to keep Japan happy. I'd say this is more likely to stop a war than start one.

OOC: from the title I was thinking Tsarevich Nicholas, but that'd be the pre-1900 forum...
