Did the United States revise its unequal treaty early?

Was the United States among the first powers to modify its unequal treaty with Japan?

Probably, although the recollection is explicitly provisional; coercive treaty politics continued well after individual revisions.

The provisional answer is that the United States was among the first powers to modify its unequal treaty arrangements with Japan. The larger point is that diplomatic pressure did not disappear with one revision. The Triple Intervention later allowed France, Russia, and Germany to impose an outcome on Japan after Japan had imposed terms on China. That history helps explain the importance attached to the Anglo-Japanese Alliance as an agreement many Japanese observers regarded as genuinely equal. The early American revision remains a tentative recollection, while the argument about the long memory of unequal relations is stated more firmly.
