第一次世界大战后,美、英、日等战胜国为重新瓜分远东和太平洋地区的殖民地和势力范围,于1921年11月12日至1922年2月6日在华盛顿召开会议,又称太平洋会议。华盛顿会议实质上是巴黎会议的继续,其主要目的是要解决《凡尔赛和约》未能解决的彼此间关于海军力量对比,及在远东太平洋地区特别是在中国的利益冲突。 After the First World War, the victorious countries such as the United States, Britain, Japan and the United States held a meeting in Washington from November 12, 1921 to February 6, 1922 to regroup the colonies and forces in the Far East and the Pacific. They also called the Pacific Ocean meeting. The Washington Conference was essentially a continuation of the Paris Conference. Its main purpose was to resolve the mutual contradiction between naval forces and conflicts of interest in the Far East and Pacific, especially in China, which the Treaty of Versailles could not solve.
