After five days of negotiations, emissaries from 48 nations sign the 1951 Treaty of San Francisco, returning the Empire of Japan to autonomy and declaring the state of war in the Pacific to be at an end. The Soviet Union participated in the negotiations, but refused to sign. Neither the communist People’s Republic of (mainland/“Red”) China, nor the kleptocratic Republic of (Taiwan/“free”) China were invited.
