Question

opposition to asian immigrants led to the 1907 gentlemans agreement with japan. this informal agreement stated that
japan would stop giving passports to people who wanted to immigrate to the united states.
japan would issue only five thousand passports per year to people who wanted to immigrate to the united states
the united states could take away the citizenship of japanese immigrants who lived in the united states.
the united states would stop giving passports to people who wanted to immigrate to japan.

Explanation:

The 1907 Gentleman’s Agreement was an informal deal between the US and Japan. The key point of this agreement was that Japan would stop issuing passports to laborers who wanted to immigrate to the US (to address anti - Asian immigration sentiment in the US). Let's analyze each option:

• Option 1: Matches the key point of the Gentleman’s Agreement as Japan agreed to stop giving passports (for labor immigration) to the US.
• Option 2: The agreement was not about a quota of 5000 passports, so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: The agreement had nothing to do with revoking citizenship of Japanese immigrants in the US, so this is wrong.
• Option 4: The agreement was about Japanese immigration to the US, not US immigration to Japan, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. Japan would stop giving passports to people who wanted to immigrate to the United States.
