Question

how did president theodore roosevelt resolve a dispute with japan over immigration?
○ he sent the us navy into japanese ports to prevent ships filled with japanese immigrants from sailing to the united states.
○ he stopped schools in san francisco from discriminating against japanese immigrants with japan’s promise to send fewer immigrants.
○ he stopped all japanese immigration into the united states.
○ he forced japanese immigrants to return to japan.

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the history of Theodore Roosevelt's handling of the Japanese immigration dispute. The Gentlemen's Agreement (1907 - 1908) involved Roosevelt intervening to stop San Francisco schools from discriminating against Japanese students, and in return, Japan agreed to limit emigration of laborers to the US. The first option is incorrect as the Navy wasn't sent to Japanese ports for this. The third option is wrong as immigration wasn't fully stopped, just laborer immigration was limited. The fourth option is incorrect as there was no forced return. The second option matches the historical event.

Answer:

B. He stopped schools in San Francisco from discriminating against Japanese immigrants with Japan’s promise to send fewer immigrants.
