San Francisco sparks a diplomatic crisis between the United States and Japan by ordering segregated schools for Japanese students.
The Gentlemen's Agreement of 1907 was an informal agreement between the United States of America and the Empire of Japan whereby Japan would not allow further emigration of laborers to the United States and the United States would not impose restrictions on Japanese immigrants already present in the country.

The agreement was not a treaty and so was not voted on by the United States Congress.
