What are the maximum gains the Japanese could get at Russia's expense?
All of Sakhalin/Karafuto, and gaining more influence in Manchuria (rather than just splitting the place), and getting an indemnity come to mind. Could Japan get Kamchatka?
Outer Manchuria seems too much given how defended Vladivostok was.
I put this in pre-1900 because I think we can include pre-war PODs to maximize this. Ergo, maybe Russia makes some bad decisions between 1895 and 1904 or Japan makes some very good decisions or the diplomatic situation is different.
