[edit] Moved from "United States-Japan Treaty of Commerce"

According to the reference given in the article, the treaty is entitled "Treaty of Amity and Commerce..."

• Do any other treaties have the same name? If so, the names of the nations are essential parts of the article title. If no other treaties have the same name, then I support the renaming. Fg2 01:13, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

• Good point; I've now moved the page to "Treaty of Amity and Commerce (USA-Japan)" as "this naming format alos follows WP:MoS disambiguation pattern, anticipating Treaty of Amity and Commerce (USA-France) etc." I've also created a Treaty of Amity and Commerce disambiguation page.

[edit] Gross error

The entrance of foreigners to the port of Edo, the Imperial capital, and the placement of an official from a foreign government in proximity to the Emperor was threatening, even to those who supported opening to the West publicly

Edo was the shogun's capital. The Imperial capital was Kyoto.

The Treaty of Amity and Commerce was also a military alliance. The US promissed to dispatch its naval forces to protect Japan should any other country try to monopolize access to its ports. FDR had to unilaterally break off the treaty before arranging an embargo to Japan, which was practically an act of war that, eventually, lead to Pearl Harbor. Can somebody please add that to the article? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tsumugi (talk • contribs) 01:55, 11 March 2007 (UTC).
