Explanation:

El diagrama muestra los acuerdos del Washington Naval Conference: el Five - Power Treaty limita la construcción naval y prohíbe la expansión en el Pacífico, el Four - Power Treaty exige consultas antes de acciones ofensivas, y el Nine - Power Treaty respeta la integridad territorial de China.
