Starting a war in hopes that the opposing side will yield and not a threat is still starting a war. Also your description starkly resembles something happening in a different century 🤔

Starting a war in hopes that the opposing side will yield and not a threat is still starting a war.

He didn't do that, though. The cause of the war was Russia stepping on Japan's toes in Korea. It was pretty provocative stuff, but he didn't start that war. At no point did Russia take military action against Japan before the war. Now I'm not saying he didn't cause the war because he absolutely did, but causing a war due to incompetence and stupidity isn't how I would define a warmonger.
