Chiang Kai-shek, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill, Cairo Conference, Egypt, November 194

"The Cairo Declaration was issued on 27 November 1943 and released in a Cairo Communiqué through radio on 1 December 1943,[3] stating the Allies' intentions to continue deploying military force until Japan's unconditional surrender. The main clauses of the Cairo Declaration are that the three great allies are fighting this war to restrain and punish the aggression of Japan, they covet no gain for themselves and won't involve themselves in territorial expansion wars after the conflict, 'Japan be stripped of all the islands in the Pacific which she has seized or occupied since the beginning of the First World War in 1914', "all the territories Japan has stolen from the Chinese, including Manchuria, Formosa, and the Pescadores, shall be restored to the Republic of China", Japan will also be expelled from all other territories which she has taken by violence and greed and that 'in due course Korea shall become free and independent'."
