6 сент 1899 г. - Open Door Policy
Описание:
Secretary of State John Hay authored the Open Door Note, a message to European powers about China. Thanks to the First Sino-Japanese War in 1895, China was left vulnerable to conquest by European powers like Great Britain, Germany, France, Russia, Austria, and Italy. Hay feared the country would be carved up and distributed in a manner similar to Africa. In his note, he swore that China would remain open to equal trade with all countries, provided that foreign nations made no move to annex it. The policy was issued out of fear that the US would lose out on valuable trades if the country were conquered, though it also extended sympathy towards anti-imperialist sentiments. Most European countries refused to agree with this policy, as it was not economically incentivising.
