Editing Treaty of Portsmouth (section)

==Commemoration==
In 1994, the Portsmouth Peace Treaty Forum was created by the Japan-America Society of New Hampshire to commemorate the Portsmouth Peace Treaty with the first formal meeting between Japanese and Russian scholars and diplomats in Portsmouth since 1905. As the Treaty of Portsmouth was one of the most powerful symbols of peace in the Northern Pacific region and the most significant shared peace history of Japan, Russia, and the United States, the forum was designed to explore from the Japanese, Russian, and American perspectives, the history of the Portsmouth Treaty and its relevance to current issues involving the Northern Pacific region. The forum is intended to focus modern scholarship on international problems in the "spirit of the Portsmouth Peace Treaty."<ref>See "The First Portsmouth Peace Treaty Forum June 15, 1994" (2005) [http://www.portsmouthpeacetreaty.com/first_forum_index.cfm online ] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190720234748/http://www.portsmouthpeacetreaty.com/first_forum_index.cfm |date=2019-07-20 }}</ref>
