The Washington Conference
- Probably the best example of how the United States ignored their isolationist dedications.
- The purpose of the conference was to establish the nature of the navies of the world. USA and Britain were given the biggest navies.
- Also the 9 Power Treaty opened up China to trade with all other countries.
- 4 Power Treaty to respect Pacific possessions.
- Much like the Paris Peace Treaty, the resolutions of this conference lacked enforcement.
Subjunctive Question: To what extent might America have proved to be all the more powerful on the world stage if they had given themselves the biggest navy in the world? How would this have effected Hitler's success in World War II?
