1942184441942. World War II Pacific Theater Archive of 11 silver gelatin photos of U.S military in the China Burma India Theater during World War II including photos of local landscapes and civilians. Photos measure 5 x 7 inches. The China Burma India Theater was the designation given by U.S military during World War II to all Southeast Asian or Indian theaters. Japanese policy in China had long been a source of international tension and in 1941 the United States began its official support of China when President Roosevelt decreed a defense of China to be a defense of America. Multiple images show U.S soldiers posing in uniform on base in Burma. Multiple images show local women washing clothes in a river with a small village visible behind them. Between 1943 and 1944 allied forces operating in Burma destroyed or damaged more than 700 Japanese aircraft. Slight bumping to corners of several photos does not affect images.

This conference also known as The Washington Naval Conference; The Washington Arms Conference or the Washington Disarmament Conference was a meeting of delegates from nine nations - the USA Japan China France Britain Italy Belgium the Netherlands and Portugal. This group which very deliberately excluded Russia met in this interesting post WWI world to discuss and negotiate their interests in the Pacific and the East Asian region. Three major treaties were some of the results of the conference: Four-Power Treaty; Five-Power Treaty also known at the Washington Naval Treaty and the Nine-Power Treaty together with a number of other smaller agreements. These treaties helped keep the peace throughout the 1920s and also helped Japan build up her navy and work on consolidating her position in China. The decisions and actions that took place at this conference clearly had an effect on the lead up to World War II in East Asia and it can be argued still have echoes today on relationships with and within the region today. . 外交部.
