Abstract

In the article involvement of the American citizens in Japanese expedition to Taiwan in 1874 is considered. Special attention is given to activities of the adviser of the Japanese government C. Le Gendre who was the most consistent supporter of the conquest of the island by Japan. Also the role of official Washington in the Japanese-Chinese conflict over Taiwan in 1874 is analyzed. On the basis of the analysis of sources, the author came to a conclusion that despite the efforts of those who supported the capture of Taiwan by Japanese army, the White House didn’t decide to interfere with the conflict and saved neutrality.
