The Eight-Nation Alliance, also known as the Eight Power Expedition, was an alliance of Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, whose military forces intervened in China during the Boxer Uprising and relieved the siege of diplomatic legations in Peking (Beijing) in the summer of 1900.

During World War One, Japan joined the conflict on the British side and also acquired examples of several wartime allied aircraft types, including some French Nieuport fighters and Salmson 2A-2 bombers.

During the 1920s, as a consequence of its military treaty with Great Britain, Japan received a naval aviation delegation from the Royal Navy. The Britsih delegates made recommendations for the establishment of a well-organized Imperial Japanese Navy Air Force and even helped to train some of its officers. The Imperial Japanese Navy Air Force was very conservative and, consequently, many of their operating practices and tactics in World War Two were those which they had adopted from the Royal Navy twenty years before. But while these had changed in Britain over that period, they did not change in Japan.

It takes years and even generations to remember that war has no clear winners. Am afraid that it may take "forever" to learn that.
