Question

The Soviet Union refused to sign this document. What would have been their objection to the treaty? (1 point

Answer 1

Answer: a. The Soviets claimed that the treaty would allow the United States to maintain missile sites in Japanese territory.

Explanation:

The treaty included a provision where the United States would potentially be allowed to station soldiers in Japan if they agreed to do so with the Japanese government.

The Soviet Union saw this as pretext to have missile sites in Japan because should the American military be stationed there, they could station military weapons as well such as missiles and the Soviet Union did not want that because Japan was too close to Soviet territory.
