during the 1956 peace talks between japan and the soviet union, the soviet side proposed to settle the dispute by returning shikotan and habomai to japan. in the final round of the talks, the japanese side accepted the weakness of its claim to iturup and kunashiri and agreed to settle on the return of shikotan and the habomai islands, in exchange for a peace treaty. however, the u.s. government intervened and blocked the deal. the u.s. warned japan that a withdrawal of the japanese claim on the other islands would mean the u.s. would keep okinawa, causing japan to refuse these terms. the u.s. had asserted that the san francisco peace treaty "did not determine the sovereignty of the territories renounced by japan", but that "japan does not have the right to transfer sovereignty over such territories". nevertheless, on october 19, 1956, in moscow, the ussr and japan signed the soviet–japanese joint declaration. the declaration ended the state of war between the soviet union and japan, which technically had still existed between the two countries since august 1945. the joint declaration did not settle the kuril islands dispute, the resolution of which was postponed until the conclusion of a permanent peace treaty between ussr and japan. however, article 9 of the joint declaration stated: "the u.s.s.r. and japan have agreed to continue, after the establishment of normal diplomatic relations between them, negotiations for the conclusion of a peace treaty. hereby, the u.s.s.r., in response to the desires of japan and taking into consideration the interest of the japanese state, agrees to hand over to japan the habomai and the shikotan islands, provided that the actual changing over to japan of these islands will be carried out after the conclusion of a peace treaty."

u.s.–german peace treaty (1921)









































the u.s.—german peace treaty is a peace treaty between the u.s. and german governments, signed in berlin on august 25, 1921, in the aftermath of world war i. the main reason for the conclusion of that treaty was the fact that the u.s. senate did not consent to ratification of the multilateral peace treaty signed in versailles, thus leading to a separate peace treaty. ratifications were exchanged in berlin on november 11, 1921, and the treaty became effective on the same day. the treaty was registered in "league of nations treaty series" on august 12, 1922.
