The Stimson Doctrine
Notes:
- Henry Stimson reacted to Japanese actions in Manchuria
- Would not allow for territorial changes to China
- Comes under US sphere of influence
- A reason Japan walked out of the League of Nations
SUMMARY :
United States realized they needed to protect China, started the relationship between China and the US. They would not allow anymore foreign country to take territory from China. The US supplied protection to China whereas the League of Nations could not.
Quotes:
The Japanese campaign involves therefore two great uncertainties; first, whether Russia will come in though we think that will be all right; and second, when and how S-1 will resolve itself.

Subjunctive questions:
How would it have been different if the US had not protected China?
