Abstract
The Washington Naval Conference was convened in November 1921 to prevent a naval building race between Great Britain, the United States, and Japan, such as had occurred between Great Britain and Germany before the First World War. Both postwar economic strictures and anti‐war sentiments were driving factors. The results were agreements on the size and proportions of capital ship fleets among the Great Powers. Additional problems were security in the Far East, the integrity of China, and the Open Door trade policy in China. Three multilateral treaties decided these questions; a number of further issues were decided though bilateral agreements.
