Summary/Abstract: The article presents the reaction of Great Britain to the 1909 American plan to internationalise the railways in Manchuria. The State Department’s initiative put the British cabinet in a vulnerable position. It wanted to maintain good relations with the US, on the one hand, and Russia and Japan, on the other, as having vital interests in Manchuria. Therefore, London acted cautiously but eventually backed the negative stance of Russia and Japan, which caused Washington’s dissatisfaction but did not lead to a more severe deterioration in bilateral relations.
