About This Lesson
Japan had two demands at the Paris Peace Conference: the transfer of German occupied territories in East Asia and the inclusion of the Racial Equality Proposal to the Treaty of Versailles. How did the outcome of these two aims influence Japanese foreign policy after World War I?
The text for the worksheet is taken from historian Seiji Shirane's portion of a May 2019 Carnegie Council/Macaulay Honors College panel entitled "100 Years After Versailles."
