This is one which I can't recall having seen for a while but has the potential to be pretty major.
What if Russia won the said war?

The effects could be pretty large, Russia gains hegenomy over Korea rather than Japan leaving Japan stuck on its island and expansion into China quite a bit harder. How would things develop differently for Japan?
And Russia...revolution was already brewing...butterflies happen of course but...if a WW1 and Russian revolution did occur could you get more of a Japanese intervention?
And what of Korea? Russian occupation would likely be much much lighter, probally not even annexation, just a protectorate. Perhaps it could develop into a sort of east asian Finland? A nice rich country.
