Chinese and Japanese representatives gathered in Peking on May 25, 1915, to sign agreements that the caption describes as having averted a war between the two countries. The signings followed a Japanese ultimatum that pressed China to accept the Twenty-One Demands, a sweeping set of requests that would have greatly expanded Japanese influence in China while the European powers were occupied with the First World War. Underwood & Underwood, the American news photography firm, made the picture, and The New York Times ran it in its picture section that July, bringing the Far Eastern negotiations to American readers.
