Roosevelt letters on Portsmouth peace pull Russia toward terms
Inside history of the Portsmouth peace talks shows President Roosevelt urging Russia to accept a peace based on retrocession of the north half of Sakhalin with payment, and warning that continued war risks greater calamity. He recommends a settlement with potential international mediation and notes eight of twelve points agreed. He cautions that rejection could cost Russia Eastern Siberia and Vladivostok.
