Treaty of San Francisco (サンフランシスコ講和条約,
San-Furanshisuko kōwa-Jōyaku), also called the
Treaty of Peace with Japan (日本国との平和条約,
Nihon-koku to no Heiwa-Jōyaku), re-established peaceful relations between
Japan and the
Allied Powers on behalf of the
United Nations by ending the legal state of war and providing for
redress for hostile actions up to and including
World War II. It was signed by 49 nations on 8 September 1951, in
San Francisco, California, U.S. at the

Italy and China were not invited, the latter due to disagreements on whether the
Republic of China or the
People's Republic of China represented the Chinese people.
Korea was also not invited due to a similar disagreement on whether
South Korea or
North Korea represented the Korean people.
