Описание:

- Paris Peace conference (wanted more territorial gains / racial equality clause
- At the Versailles Conference that followed the First World War, Japan secured the former German Pacific islands as a mandate and Germany’s former economic privileges on the Shandong Peninsula of China
- These gains firmly established Japan as an important economic power on the Asian mainland and as the main naval power in the Western Pacific
- However, Japan was reminded that it was not fully a member of the “Western Club” by its failure to get racial equality clauses included in the Charter of the League of Nations
- This was because leaders in Britain and the USA were afraid of the implications this would have for Japanese immigration into their countries (see right for more details)
