WI both Russia and Japan are able to amicably resolve their territorial differences in 1904 without going to war. How does this POD impact their respective militaries and their political system? Would avoiding the Russo - Japanese war in entirety, be enough to prevent the evolution of Japanese militarism?

Another impact would that the reputation of the Russian military may remain intact, which means no military reform program. Does this lead to greater likelihood of Russian involvement in another war with the Ottomans at all, or lead them to be more bellicose towards the Germans?
