They allowed Japan to reach the center of the Pacific Ocean and approach the main US naval base, the Hawaiian Islands. Hastily began to occupy the market of the countries of the Far East and the Pacific Ocean. This, in turn, increased the profits of Japanese monopolies (Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Yasuda, Sumitomo). The standard of living of working people in the country has decreased. This phenomenon was expressed in the "Rice Rebellion" that occurred on August 1918, 3 in Toyama Prefecture.
This rebellion was caused by speculators raising the price of rice.
This rebellion, which shook the foundations of the Japanese colonial empire, greatly influenced the rise of a new wave of national liberation struggle in the colonies.

After the war, Japan's relations with the USA in the Pacific basin became tense. On January 1925, 20, the Soviet state and Japan signed an agreement "On the Basic Principles of their Mutual Relations". According to him, Japan withdrew its last military units from the territory of Soviet Russia. However, this did not mean that the Japanese ruling circles gave up their claims to the territories of the Soviet Far East.
