Anglo Japanese Alliance

The first Anglo-Japanese Alliance was signed in London at Lansdowne House by Lord Lansdowne and Hayashi Tadasu. A diplomatic milestone that saw an end to Britain's splendid isolation, the alliance was renewed and expanded in scope twice, in 1905 and 1911, before its demise in 1921. It was officially terminated in 1923.
