question 7 of 10
which of the following explains the importance of the gentlemen’s agreement between japan and the united states?

a. it eased growing tensions between the united states and japan.

b. it allowed the united states to segregate schools.

c. it allowed unlimited immigration to japan.

d. it allowed the united states to control trade with the philippines.

Explanation:

The Gentlemen’s Agreement (1907 - 1908) was between the US and Japan. It addressed Japanese immigration to the US (Japan agreed to limit emigration of laborers to the US, and the US agreed to not impose more restrictive immigration laws on Japanese and to integrate Japanese students in public schools). This agreement was aimed at reducing rising diplomatic tensions between the two nations over immigration - related issues. Option B is incorrect as school segregation in the US was related to racial policies for African - Americans, not this agreement. Option C is wrong as it was about limiting Japanese emigration to the US, not immigration to Japan. Option D is incorrect as the agreement had nothing to do with US - Philippines trade.

Answer:

A. It eased growing tensions between the United States and Japan.
