The Russo-Japanese War begins. Following the Russian rejection of a Japanese plan to divide Manchuria and Korea into spheres of influence, Japan launches a surprise naval attack against Port Arthur, a Russian naval base in China. The Russian fleet was decimated.
The Pacific War actually began in the 1930s when Japan invaded Manchuria and China well before the German invasion of Poland. The problem is, that the war remained localized between China and Japan, so no one recognized the Japanese aggression as the beginning of WW2, although it was clear that they were headed in that direction.
