Russo-Japanese peace negotiations convene at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard

Delegations from the Russian Empire and the Empire of Japan met at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine/Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to begin negotiations to end the Russo–Japanese War, with President Theodore Roosevelt facilitating mediation.

The Portsmouth talks set in motion the negotiations that produced the Treaty of Portsmouth, ended a major international war, and led to Roosevelt receiving the 1906 Nobel Peace Prize for his mediation.
