Shidehara Diplomacy refers to Japan's foreign policy approach during the 1920s, named after Kijūrō Shidehara, who served as Japan's foreign minister. This policy emphasized peaceful diplomacy, international cooperation, and a commitment to the principles of the League of Nations. It aimed to improve Japan's global image and reduce tensions with Western powers. The core of Shidehara Diplomacy was to promote disarmament and avoid military aggression, contrasting with Japan's earlier militaristic stance. This approach sought to balance Japan's interests in Asia while fostering better relations with Western nations, ultimately aiming for stability in the region.
