Still, would it have been more likely to win? If Russia had fought a nonmilitary battle against Britain in 1904 rather of Japan.
The academic script of Russia fighting a nonmilitary battle against Britain in 1904 rather of Japan involves several complex factors. Then are some crucial points to consider

Naval Power and Technology

In 1904, Britain had a significantly more advanced cortege , especially in terms of technology and shipbuilding. The Royal Navy was the largest and most important in the world, boasting a line of ultramodern battleships and sedans.
The Russian cortege , while growing, was n’t as technologically advanced or numerically sufficient compared to Britain. The Russo- Japanese War( 1904- 1905) stressed these scarcities, particularly during the Battle of Tsushima.

Geopolitical environment

The Russo- Japanese War was motivated by Homeric intentions in East Asia, particularly regarding Korea and Manchuria. A conflict with Britain would have likely stemmed from different geopolitical interests, similar as competition in social homes or influence in Europe.
Britain was concentrated on maintaining its global conglomerate and would have been less inclined to engage in a prolonged conflict with Russia unless provoked.

Strategic Advantages

still, it could have tried to work its geographic position and conceivably confederated with other nations( like France) to neutralize British nonmilitary dominance, If Russia had engaged Britain.
still, Britain’s global network of bases and its capability to project power across abysses would have given it significant strategic advantages in any nonmilitary battle.

Internal Issues

Russia faced considerable internal strife and political insecurity in 1904, which could have impacted its capability to wage a successful nonmilitary crusade against a important adversary like Britain. The Russian Revolution of 1905 was incompletely fueled by disgruntlement stemming from military failures in the war against Japan.

outgrowth Liability

Given Britain’s superior nonmilitary capabilities and strategic advantages, it would have been challenging for Russia to secure a palm in a nonmilitary battle against Britain in 1904.
still, if Russia had concentrated its nonmilitary forces else or if a significant strategic misstep passed on Britain’s part, a Russian palm, while doubtful, could n’t be entirely ruled out.

In conclusion, while it’s theoretically possible for Russia to have won in certain scripts, the overall service, technological, and strategic superiority of Britain in 1904 would have made a Russian palm in a nonmilitary battle largely questionable.
