What was the gentleman agreement?

Answer 1

The Gentlemen's Agreement was an informal agreement between the United States and Japan in the early 20th century, primarily around 1907-1908. It aimed to address tensions over Japanese Immigration, where Japan agreed to limit the emigration of its citizens to the U.S. in exchange for the U.S. agreeing to stop discriminatory policies against Japanese immigrants already in America. This agreement was never formalized in law but served to ease diplomatic relations between the two nations during that period.
