Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"The Washington Conference and After" provides a comprehensive historical and political analysis of the 1921-1922 Washington Naval Conference and its profound impact on international relations in the early twentieth century. Written by scholar Yamato Ichihashi, the work examines the intricate negotiations surrounding naval disarmament and the complex diplomatic shifts concerning East Asian and Pacific affairs following World War I.The text delves into the major treaties produced during the conference, including the Five-Power Treaty on naval limitation and the Four-Power and Nine-Power Treaties regarding Pacific security and Chinese sovereignty. Ichihashi offers an expert perspective on the motivations of the participating nations-particularly the United States, Great Britain, and Japan-and explores how these agreements attempted to stabilize global power dynamics and prevent a costly arms race. By situating the conference within the broader context of post-war diplomacy, the book highlights the challenges of maintaining peace through international cooperation and the evolving nature of maritime strategy.
