| dc.description.abstract-translated | The study aims to analyse the relations between Japan and Great Britain through the Anglo-Japanese alliance, an alliance between two island empires from different parts of the world that, due to the geopolitical scenario and the issues they faced at the beginning of the 20th century, such as the threat of the Russian Empire, they decided to join forces in a treaty that assured their positions in the Far East. As the years passed, they decided to renew the alliance twice, becoming essential politically, economically, and militarily for both of them, especially in the 1910s. Despite this close link, the alliance wasn’t extremely popular for various reasons, whether within the empires or abroad. As the First World War ended, the new world that emerged saw the alliance and the style of diplomacy it was made by as antiquated. The situation eventually evolved into the abrogation of the alliance at the Washington Conference. However, the memory of the alliance would be transformed by those who were against internationalism and the characteristics of the new style of diplomacy, seeing the alliance as an example of the reliability of the old style, thereby creating a myth that considers its abrogation to have been a massive blunder that eventually led to the Pacific War, that permeates to this day, the “ghost” of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. Therefore, this study aims to explain what the alliance was and its circumstances, from the beginning till its end, and how it affected the course of the 20th century. | en |
