It highlights Japan's industrial and military exchanges with Britain, leading to the formation of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance in 1902. The alliance was tested during the Russo-Japanese War and World War I. However, events like Japan's racial equality proposal and the Washington Naval Treaty strained relations, ultimately ending the alliance and fostering anti-Western sentiment in Japan.
