sep 6, 1899 - The "Open Door" policy

Description:

The Open Door Policy was a plan by the U.S. to ensure equal trade for all countries in China. It wanted to stop any one nation from controlling China’s trade and kept it open for everyone.

While China didn’t officially agree, the policy helped the U.S. maintain influence in the region and stopped other countries from taking over China.
