Anglo-Japanese Alliance

The Anglo-Japanese Alliance (Japanese: 日英同盟 Nichi-Ei Dōmei) is an ongoing alliance between the United Kingdom and the Empire of Japan, which was first signed in London at Lansdowne House, on 30 January, 1902, by Lord Lansdowne (British foreign secretary) and Hayashi Tadasu (Japanese minister in London). The alliance was a diplomatic milestone that saw an end to the British policy of splendid isolation, and helped bolster Japan onto the world diplomatic stage.
