Question

why was theodore roosevelt worried about japan winning the russo - japanese war? (1 point) russia supported unlimited u.s. access to chinese markets. japanese victory could limit american access to chinese markets. the u.s. had agreed to support japan in any war with european nations. a treaty with russia required the u.s. to provide supplies to it during any war.

Explanation:

Theodore Roosevelt was concerned about the balance of power and economic interests. At that time, the U.S. had an interest in accessing Chinese markets (Open Door Policy). If Japan won, it might expand its influence in East Asia and potentially limit American access to Chinese markets. Russia's stance on U.S. access to Chinese markets was not the main concern. There was no such U.S. agreement to support Japan in any war with European nations or a treaty with Russia requiring U.S. supplies in any war.

Answer:

Japanese victory could limit American access to Chinese markets.
