Taishō period - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The goal of the Nine Power Treaty (February 6, 1922), signed by Belgium, China, the Netherlands, and Portugal, along with the original five powers, was the prevention of war in the Pacific. In the Four Power Treaty on Insular Possessions (December 13, 1921), Japan, the United States, Britain, and France agreed to recognize the status quo in the Pacific, and Japan and Britain agreed to terminate formally their Treaty of Alliance. Despite its small role in World War I (and the Western powers' rejection of its bid for a racial equality clause in the peace treaty), Japan emerged as a major actor in international politics at the close of the war. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Taisho

MSN Encarta - Search View - Arms Control Senate opponents of the treaty argued that it was unenforceable, and they raised concerns that the treaty left open the possibility that rogue powers, such as Iraq or North Korea, could stockpile nuclear weapons, while at the same time it blocked the United States from upgrading its nuclear arsenal. This treaty called for the elimination of almost two-thirds of the nuclear warheads and all the multiple-warhead land-based missiles held by the United States and the former Soviet republics. It was followed in 1963 by a treaty that bound the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union not to test nuclear weapons in space, in the atmosphere, or under water. encarta.msn.com /text_761553064__1/Arms_Control.html   (4387 words)

Washington Naval Conference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It resulted in the conclusion of the Four-Power Treaty, Five-Power Treaty and the Nine-Power Treaty. These treaties preserved peace during the 1920s but are also credited with establishing the rise of the Japanese Empire as a naval power leading up to World War II. Japanese officials were more focused on specifics than the British, and approached the conference with two primary goals: first, to sign a naval treaty with Britain and the United States, and, secondly, to obtain official recognition of Japan’s special interests in Manchuria and Mongolia. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Washington_Naval_Conference   (358 words)

Nobunaga broke the power of the monasteries between 1570 and 1580, destroying Buddhism as a political force; he combined sage administration of subjugated lands with ruthless persecution of opponents.

Japan: history 1912-41 - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Japan: history 1912-41 The Anglo-Japanese Alliance was merged in and replaced by a four-power treaty concluded between Japan, Britain, France, and the USA, aiming at the maintenance of the status quo in the Pacific. As yet Japan's leaders were unwilling to risk war with the Western powers, but in July 1940 army pressure brought about the resignation of the relatively moderate cabinet of Prime Minister Mitsumasa Yonai (1880–1948) and its replacement by the second Konoe cabinet, with the ambitious American-educated Yosuke Matsuoka as foreign minister. By the Treaty of Versailles, 1919, Japan received, under mandate from the League of Nations, the former German colonies of the Caroline, Marshall, Mariana, and Palau islands, together with Jiaozhou. encyclopedia.farlex.com /Japan:+history+1912-41   (2950 words)

Battlefleets and Diplomacy The Three Power Treaty, as the rump agreement was called, was intended to last until 1942, but both Great Britain and the United States kept up negotiations with Japan in hopes of gaining her assent to the limitations. With the Japanese outside of the treaty constraints, there was no longer any desire on the part of the other powers to limit the numbers of their fleets, and each country was free to build as many new ships as it wished. The Washington Treaty was due to terminate late in 1936, and preliminary talks began as early as 1934 in an attempt to extend the agreement. www.navweaps.com /index_inro/INRO_Battlefleet.htm   (7816 words)

The 20th century, year after year After a lengthy debate, a nine-power treaty was signed proclaiming respect for China's sovereignty, independence and territorial and administrative integrity. The Washington Conference resulted in the signature of seven treaties and agreements, including the five-power naval limitation treaty of naval armament which imposed restrictions as to the number and the tonnage of the capital ships owned by the United States, Britain, Japan, France and Italy. It was the first arms limitation treaty ever signed and also the first time that Britain formally recognized the demand to have its naval force stabilized with that of the United States. www.vor.ru /century/1922.html   (206 words)

Arms Control Association: Arms Control Today: Multilateral Arms Control: India's veto of the CTB Treaty at the CD and its continuing refusal to sign the accord undermines the argument that through the process of multilateral negotiations among the relevant states, reluctant governments can be brought on board. If the non-nuclear-weapon "middle powers" on all the major continents can develop the political will, alliances and strategies, they could help to establish the agenda and pace of qualitative nuclear disarmament negotiations among the five weapon states, which, in turn, would reinforce and enhance the START process and other bilateral initiatives. This is not the view of India and Pakistan, which insist that a treaty that bans future production but does not address the large military stockpiles already in existence would freeze the status quo, thereby discriminating in favor of those countries that already have sizeable stockpiles. www.armscontrol.org /act/1997_11-12/johnson.asp   (206 words)

Disarmament Efforts The agreements reached included the Five Power Treaty, which established a "holiday" on the building of new warships for ten years and set a tonnage ratio of 10:10:6:3½ :3½ for Britain, the United States, Japan, France, and Italy, respectively and bound the signatories to scrap 66 capital ships. The major naval powers attempted to rectify the situation at the London Conference of 1930, where Japanese parity in the other vessel classes of ships was recognized. Other treaties signed at Washington abolished the two decade old Anglo-Japanese Alliance, endorsed the Open Door policy in China, compelled Japanese withdrawal from Siberia, and allowed the United States access to the Island of Yap. www.state.gov /r/pa/ho/time/id/16325.htm   (206 words)

Semaphore Issue 5 2004 - Sea Power Centre Australia The Five Power Treaty contained several areas of ambiguity that would have allowed the Australian Government to mount an argument to retain the battlecruiser. The immediate result of the ensuing 1922 Washington Five Power Naval Treaty was that Britain, America and Japan scrapped a number of unfinished capital ships and older dreadnoughts.
