The USA's contribution to the making of the USSR was accidental. In
the belief that the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic
could not survive, American statesmen strove to keep the former
tsarist empire intact for a non-communist successor regime in the
face of attempts by other powers to carve out spheres of influence
in both European and Asiatic Russia. In this manner, they
unwittingly facilitated the formation of the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics. At the Washington Conference on the Limitation
of Armament and on Pacific and Far Eastern Questions of 1921-1922,
hosted by President Harding, the USA established predominance over
Britain and its empire, France and Japan in a series of treaties
limiting the size of the world's major navies and aiming at
stability throughout the Pacific as well as on the Asiatic
mainland. Meanwhile, 'uninvited Russia' was attempting to establish
its hold on the former tsarist lands, partly through the stratagem
of the Far East Republic used against Japanese intervention. In
1922, Soviet power was consolidated in the creation of the USSR.
