The protests were the largest popular protests in Japan's modern history, lasting more than a year and reaching a violent climax in June 1960, when thousands of radical activists stormed the National Legislature, precipitating a battle with police and yakuza thugs which injured thousands. Although the protests ultimately failed to prevent passage of the Security Treaty, which remains in force to this day, they did shock the nation and the world, leading to the cancelation of a greatly anticipated visit to Japan by US president Eisenhower, the resignation of Japanese prime minister Kishi Nobusuke, and ultimately, the reformulation of US-Japan diplomacy and Japanese political and social relations.--cProvided by publisher8 aAAL10aKishi, Nobusuke,d1896-1987.00aAgreement under Article VI of the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between Japan and the United States of America, regarding Facilities and Areas and the Status of United States Armed Forces in Japand(1960 January 19) 0aProtest movementszJapanxHistory. 0aJapanxForeign relationsy1945-1989. 0aUnited StatesxForeign relationsy1953-1961. 0aJapanxCivilizationxAmerican influences. 0aJapanxRelationszUnited States. 0aUnited StatesxRelationszJapan.1 aAyesha Abed LibrarycGeneral Stacks
