Signing of the Four‑Power Treaty on Pacific consultation

The United States, United Kingdom, Japan, and France signed the Four‑Power Treaty at the Washington conference, agreeing to consult one another on Pacific affairs and to respect each other's Pacific possessions.

By replacing secret bilateral alliances and committing the major Pacific powers to consultation, the treaty reduced immediate tensions in the Pacific and reshaped regional diplomatic arrangements after World War I.
