	Treaty of San Francisco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Treaty of San Francisco or San Francisco Peace Treaty between the Allied Powers and Japan, was officially signed by 49 nations on September 8, 1951 in San Francisco, California.
		The treaty served to officially end World War II, to formally end Japan's position as an imperial power and allocate compensation to Allied civilians and former prisoners of war who had suffered Japanese war crimes.
		The Republic of China, however, enacted a separate Treaty of Taipei with Japan in 1952, which acknowledged the terms of the San Francisco Treaty.

	JPRI Working Paper No. 78
		The SFPT was not only a peace treaty; it established an important bilateral military relationship between Japan and the U.S. Furthermore, as part of the peace treaty process, the U.S. coerced Japan into signing a bilateral treaty with Taiwan in 1952, effectively cutting off Japan from continental China.
		One of the reasons the Indian government rejected the proposed peace treaty was because the treaty was being tied to a separate military agreement with the United States.
		In the end the San Francisco agreement was only peripherally a peace treaty-- it was a series of bi- and multi-lateral military pacts that ensured the Pacific would become an American lake, an ambition that dates from the early 20th century.

		This treaty between Japan and Russia, reportedly, was concluded after peaceful negotiations and took into account all activities of the two nations in the vicinity of the Sakhalin and Kurile Islands prior to the time of the treaty's conclusion.
		Consequently, in place of a peace treaty, the Japan-Soviet Joint Declaration was concluded which is a treaty providing for the termination of the state of war and the resumption of diplomatic relations.
		This treaty stipulates in Article 9 that after diplomatic relations have been established, the peace treaty negotiations shall be continued and the Soviet Union shall hand over the Habomai and Shikotan Islands to Japan after the conclusion of a peace treaty, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan.

	JPRI Critique Vol. VIII No. 7
		At the 50th Anniversary celebration of the San Francisco Peace Treaty a group of American POWs protested the conferences and galas while they are attempting to pursue financial relief for having been enslaved by certain Japanese pre-war conglomerates, particularly the firms of Mitsui and Mitsubishi.
		The peace treaty itself gave Okinawa to the Pentagon as its own private colony, an imperium that lasted for twenty years until Japan and the U.S. altered its legal status into that of a de facto colony of the United States disguised by a fa?ade of Japanese sovereignty.
		At San Francisco, Yoshida alone signed for Japan because the conservative opposition Democratic Party and the Socialists were opposed to any military alliance with the United States and because he wanted to indicate to the Japanese people that he alone was taking responsibility for it.

		However, the end of the Cold War did not necessarily mean the advent of a "peace era." With the decline of the structure underlying the East-West military confrontation, the possibility of global war has become remote in today's international security environment.
		Nato was established in 1949, and the San Francisco Peace Treaty was signed by Japanese and American political leaders in 1951.
		It is absolutely necessary for maintenance of regional peace and stability in the twenty-first century that Japan conduct joint operations with the United States more effectively, through the exercise of the right of collective self-defense.

		The contemptuous reply you have given to the victims' case ~ "that it was all settled by the San Francisco Treaty" ~ seemingly reinforced by your spokesman in Parliament last month, has shown your attitude to Japanese atrocities to be as ill-briefed, as uncaring and as racist as that of your predecessors.
		It was not "all settled" in San Francisco.
		Second is the long-concealed factor that the San Francisco Treaty did not deny the right of British internees, who received £48 compensation for "undue hardship", to receive more (as did the Swiss, who averaged a sum over fifty times greater) if victims possessing any other nationality were to receive more.

		Third, the Treaty of Peace between the Republic of China (Taiwan) and Japan of April 28, 1952 became null and void in accordance with the Sino-Japanese Joint Communiqué of September 29, 1972.
		The 1972 Sino-Japanese Joint Communiqué is the peace and war claims settlement between Japan and China, which was concluded after the 1951 San Francisco Peace Treaty.
		Firstly, despite the treaty defense, this successful submission of the Bill proved that this issue may be solved by legislative measures and destroyed the myth presented by the Japanese government that no direct compensation was legally possible.

		If the time should come that a peaceful unification with or annexation by the PRC, for instance, is to be decided, the people of Taiwan should be the ones to have the final say.
