The United States' diplomatic relations with Japan had been improving steadily since Japan conquered Russian territory in 1905.TrueFalse

This statement is False. While it's true that the United States and Japan established diplomatic relations and that Japan's victory in the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) did shift global power dynamics, the relationship between the United States and Japan became more strained in the following decades. Factors such as Japanese immigration to the U.S., the growing competition for influence in Asia, and Japan's militaristic expansion led to tensions, culminating in the breakdown of relations in the lead-up to World War II. The U.S. imposed restrictions on Japanese immigrants and enacted policies that reflected growing unease regarding Japan's expansionist ambitions. Therefore, rather than improving steadily, the U.S.-Japan relations were marked by significant challenges and conflicts during the early 20th century.
