feb 6, 1922 - Japanese offense by the Washington Naval Treaty

Description:

The Japanese are offended because of the imposition of the Washington Naval Treaty. This treaty limits the number of ships that they can own and assures the naval primacy of the North American and British fleets. In addition, Japan feels aggravated because the European powers occupy territories within their sphere of influence.
