Japan-U.S. Security Treaty

The Japan-U.S. Security Treaty, signed in 1951, is a mutual agreement where the United States commits to defending Japan if it faces military threats, particularly from other countries. In return, Japan allows the U.S. to maintain military bases on its territory. This treaty helps ensure Japan's security and stability in the region, while also supporting U.S. strategic interests in Asia. It is a cornerstone of the alliance, fostering cooperation and peace between the two nations while respecting each country's sovereignty.
