Abstract
War Termination (WT) can occur through negotiations while the war is still ongoing. The situation of WT in a conflict between a great power and a regional power in a limited war is especially interesting. In such cases, WT through negotiations cannot easily end with a win-lose scenario, even if the regional power holds an advantage on the battlefield. To support this thesis, the authors investigated WT in the Russo-Japanese War and sought to answer whether Japan, as a regional power, could have obtained a more advantageous peace from the conflict against the great power Russia at the beginning of the 20th century, following its successes on the battlefield. Finally, the authors draw conclusions regarding the possible WT of the Russo-Ukrainian War in Europe.
