Russian invasion preparations and an Anglo-Japanese response

What if Russia built the logistics and infrastructure for invasions of Japan, China and India in the late 1890s?

Britain and Japan would draw much closer in opposition, and American interests in China could bring the United States into that grouping.

The scenario requires Russia to build infrastructure and move personnel before attempting several distant campaigns. British and Japanese opposition is expected to grow much stronger. American participation is a possibility if China is threatened, rather than a guaranteed alliance commitment. The Boxer intervention provides the historical example of American interests in China. Its multinational character was more complicated than the film portrayal recalled here.
