Question

question 5 of 10
an issue addressed by the gentlemens agreement between japan and the
united states was:

a. neutrality of japan in manchuria.

b. segregation of japanese in united states schools.

c. immigration of united states citizens to korea.

d. respect for areas of influence in asia held by the united states
and japan.

Explanation:

The Gentlemen’s Agreement (1907 - 1908) between Japan and the US addressed the segregation of Japanese students in US schools (specifically in San Francisco) and also regulated Japanese immigration to the US. Option A is incorrect as Manchuria - related neutrality was not the focus. Option C is incorrect as it was about Japanese immigration to the US, not US citizens to Korea. Option D is about spheres of influence, which was more related to other agreements (like the Root - Takahira Agreement), not the Gentlemen’s Agreement. So the correct option is B.

Answer:

B. Segregation of Japanese in United States schools.
