When the UK did not renew its alliance with the Empire of Japan in the early 1920's it had three clear effects. The first was the final straw for the Japanese government for the concept of "playing the game" with Europe in regards to diplomacy. Second the UK made clear moves to befriend the US, which was more willing to be isolationist. The final act was making the UK recognize the need to give Japan a minor peace offering to keep them on semi-friendly terms, this was the Four Powers agreeing to no new forts in the Pacific.

Now WI the UK looked away from the Canada strategy and decided to maintain its alliance with Japan?
