Katsura-Taft Memorandum

Japanese: 桂=タフト協定 - かつら=タフトきょうてい(英語表記)Taft-Katsura Memorandum
Katsura-Taft Memorandum
A secret memorandum exchanged in Tokyo on July 29, 1905 between Prime Minister Katsura Taro and Secretary of War W. Taft, special envoy of the US President. It contained three main points: (1) Japan would recognize the US's rule over the Philippines and would have no aggressive intentions toward the Philippines, (2) the maintenance of peace in the Far East should be based on an agreement between Japan, the US, and Great Britain, and (3) the US would recognize Japan's superior rule over Korea. It was created as a result of the combined desire of the US, which feared Japan would use Taiwan as a foothold to move south into the Philippines, and Japan, which wanted other countries to recognize its rule over Korea after the Russo-Japanese War.
