- Abstract
- In the early 20th century liberalism had an upswing. New treaties were signed, and the everlasting

In 1922 the five-power naval treaty was signed and by a few pen strokes five great navies were
drastically reduced. This did not land on any good graces in Japan. The Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN)

These events are analyzed on individual-, state-, and structural level, and my conclusion is that no one
single event is responsible for the outcome, but they all contributed to it. (Less)
