Russia had good relations with USA in 19th century. When US was in the middle of a devastating civil war, Russia was at the brink of war with the old "Crimean Coalition" (Britain, France, and Austria) over the question of the Polish Rebellion. Both Russia and President Lincoln had to face the same enemy Coalition.
The arrival of the Russian fleet, in New York and San Francisco harbors in the autumn of 1863, was a timely saving grace the Union needed. It arrived at a crucial time when Britain and France were on the verge of intervening in the Civil War on the side of the Confederacy. The mighty Russian presence deterred the Anglo-French from invading, and the Union was saved.
Assassination of President Lincoln in April 1865 and the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867 are the other major events of that time.
From then onwards, the bankers were determined to punish Tsar. Japan was not a major power at that time. But they possessed tenacious fighting skills. The Russo-Japanese War in 1905 was fully supported by US and European bankers led by wallstreet banker Jacob Schiff. This is considered as the World War Zero (analogous with the current situation is Ukraine). Japan immediately became an important actor in world politics, opening the way to a new constellation of powers. This was a prelude to First World War. The Russian prisoners of war (POWs) were brought to Japan and NewYork for training in socialist revolution (Bolshevism) in Russia.
A bird's eye view of the events after 1905
1) The bankers funded the election campaign of President Woodrow Wilson. In return he signed the Federal Reserve Act into law in December 1913 and created a new federal income tax.
2) The federal tax money was diverted for the staging of First World War and Bolshevik Revolution in Russia
3) After WW1, the weapon manufactures in USA and UK, continued funding the war machinery of both sides (Germany and UK).
4) The Americans were not willing to involve in both World Wars. The Pearl Harbor attack is viewed by some historians as a backdoor method of entering the World War to rescue Britain.
