external debt something that i can tell you a long story about 私が働いた国では
however , this treaty didn ' t mention the russia ' s obligation to pay the reparations to japan , so japan couldn ' t directly gain the reparations although it sacrificed a considerable number of victims and a huge amount of war expenditure (including the external debt ) incomparable with the sino-japanese war . しかし、同条約では日本に対するロシアの賠償金支払い義務はなかった為、日清戦争と比較にならないほど多くの犠牲者や膨大な戦費（対外債務も含む）を支出したにも関わらず、直接的な賠償金が得られなかった。
