Washington Conference (Nov. 1921–Feb. 1922) A conference attended by Belgium, Britain, China, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Portugal, and the USA, aiming to reduce tensions in the Far East and to discuss naval disarmament. The main results were an agreement between the UK, France, Japan, and China to recognize each other's existing Pacific territories. Furthermore, the powers undertook to guarantee China's independence and territorial integrity, while the Japanese promised to return the region around Kiaochow. Finally, a naval convention was signed in which the nine powers agreed not to build capital ships (warships over 10,000 tons, with guns larger than 8–inch) for ten years. For that period, a ratio for capital ships of 5.25:5.25: 3.15:1.75:1.75 between the UK, the USA, Japan, France, and Italy was agreed, while the USA and UK agreed not to strengthen the fortifications of their naval bases between and including Singapore and Hawaii.
