Does react-router-dom require react-router to work?

I'm trying to work with the react-router-dom v4, and I got it working, but something strange is happening.

I was following some tutorials that are based on react-router, and I switched to react-router-dom because I just couldnt get react-router to work. I'm not using the react-router anywhere in my app.

I compile everything with webpack and the app is working, I can use the routes and links. If I uninstall react-router - npm uninstall react-router --save and I try to run webpack I get:

D:\Projects\IntelligentWeb>webpack
crypto.js:74
  this._handle.update(data, encoding);
               ^

Why is this happening? Does react-router-dom somehow need the react-router?

If I install it back it will compile again.

This is my webpack config:

module.exports = {
    entry: './app-client.js',
    devtool: '#eval-source-map',
    output: {
        path: __dirname + '/public/js',
        filename: 'bundle.js'
    },
    module: {
        loaders: [
            {
                test: /\.js$/,
                exclude: /(node_modules|app-server.js)/,
                loader: 'babel-loader'
            }
        ]
    }
};
