Washington Naval Conference (12 nov 1921 – 6 févr. 1922)
Description:
The Five-Power Treaty, also known as the Washington Naval Convention, didseveral things:
● Large battleship construction was halted for ten years.
● Certain battleships and cruisers, a fast type of warship, were to be
scrapped.
● For every five capital ships that Britain or the USA were allowed, Japan
could have only three, only 60% of the size of either the USA or
Britain.
● Britain and the USA agreed to build no fortifications in the Pacific except
for Pearl Harbor, Hawaii: the main naval base for the USA.
The Four-Power Treaty ended the Anglo-Japanese
Alliance and required Japan, the USA, Britain and France to respect each
other’s territories. The Nine-Power Treaty required Japan to remove its
military from the Shantung Peninsula and called on all nations to respect
China’s independence and borders.
