Abstract

This article presents a description and analysis of historical events, which played an important role in the restoration of friendly relations between Japan and India. During World War II, despite the fact that Japan and India were in a state of war, they did not conduct long warfare against each other. The main part of the article is devoted to the studying of events in the first years after the war ended. The International Military Tribunal for the Far East and the San Francisco Peace Conference are described more precisely. India, having received the status of an independent republic, was concerned about the further development of Japan, as well as its position after the signing of the Peace Treaty. This is due to the fact that India has seen in Japan of its natural potential partner in the Asian region. Therefore, the Indian government, though it refused to take part in the conference in San Francisco, insisted on ending the state of war and the signing of a separate peace treaty with Japan. The Treaty was signed in June 1952, which marked the beginning of the history of bilateral cooperation in the postwar period.

Keywords:
