Stephen Valone takes the first in-depth look at the China arms
embargo (1919-1929) and places it in the larger context of United
States foreign policy. Until now historians have focused on the
formation of the Second Banking Consortium as the U.S.'s primary
weapon against Japan's aspirations in China. Valone explores the
crucial role that the China arms embargo concurrently played in
limiting Japan's intentions. The embargo's ostensible goal was to
inhibit the flow of weapons into China forcing rival Chinese
factions to negotiate their differences at the conference table.
The United States' deeper motive was to roll back Japan's influence
and defend its Open Door policy in China. Valone's diplomatic
history concludes with a positive assessment of the embargo as a
tool of U.S. foreign policy. From 1919 to 1929 the United States
participated in an international agreement known as the China arms
embargo. Stephen Valone's study provides an in-depth coverage of
this embargo. Chapters cover Japan's wartime gains in China;
Japan's apogee; ban on loans; arms embargo; challenges to the
embargo; embargo success; British defense; unsuccessful attempts to
strengthen the embargo; and the Soviet threat and cancellation of
the embargo.
