British Naval Continent in Japan - Anglo-Japanese Alliance
British Naval Continent in Japan following the signing of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance of 1902. The Alliance was to run for five years before being renewed, was primarily directed against the potential shared menace posed, it was believed, by France and (most probably) Russia in the Far East. The alliance obligated either power to remain neutral if one or other found itself at war. However, should either power be obliged to fight a war against two or more powers, the other signatory was obliged to provide military aid. The alliance was renewed in 1905 to take into account Japans recent successful war against Russia. Date: 1902

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of celebration and unity between the British Royal Navy and the Imperial Japanese Navy following the signing of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance in 1902. The alliance, which was to last for five years with an option for renewal, was a response to the perceived threat of France and Russia in the Far East. The agreement obligated both parties to remain neutral if one found itself at war with another power, but if either were to face two or more adversaries, the other signatory was pledged to provide military aid. The image shows a grand procession of British sailors, proudly marching through the streets of Japan, with their Japanese counterparts lining the route and cheering them on. The sailors are adorned with their distinctive uniforms, complete with white hats and red jackets, while their Japanese counterparts can be seen holding lanterns and waving flags. A friendly dog even joins in the festivities, adding to the sense of camaraderie and joviality. The alliance was renewed in 1905, following Japan's successful war against Russia, further strengthening the bond between the two nations. This photograph is a testament to the historical significance of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance and the spirit of cooperation that defined the relationship between Britain and Japan during this period.
