The Treaty of San Francisco, also called the Treaty of Peace with Japan, re-established peaceful relations between Japan and the Allied powers on behalf of the United Nations, ending the legal state of war, the military occupation of Japan, and providing for redress for hostile actions up to and including World War II. It was signed by 49 nations on September 8, 1951, in San Francisco, at the War Memorial Opera House. Italy and China were not invited, the latter because of disagreement over whether the Republic of China or the People's Republic of China represented the Chinese people, and Korea was excluded for a similar reason concerning its own division.

Which countries refused to sign the Treaty of San Francisco and why?
The Soviet Union, Poland and Czechoslovakia, over a promise about China that Japan was made to accept.
Fifty-two nations met in San Francisco in September 1951 to discuss the treaty, and forty-nine of them signed it. The US Office of the Historian names the Soviet Union, Poland and Czechoslovakia as notable holdouts. It says they objected to a promise, which it describes as forced on Japan by US politicians, to support the Republic of China and not do business with the People's Republic of China.
